2030 Ahmedabad Commonwealth Games to Feature 17 Sports with Reduced Hosting Costs
The 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad will feature 17 sports and are planned to be hosted at approximately 60% lower cost than previous editions, according to Commonwealth Sport CEO Katie Sadleir. The 2026 Glasgow Games, starting next month, will be a smaller event with 10 able-bodied and six para sports to reduce expenses. Glasgow took over hosting after Victoria, Australia, withdrew due to budget concerns. The cost-cutting aligns with Commonwealth Sport's 'Games Reset' strategy to make events more affordable.
