No Wealth For Commonwealth Games - Have The CWG Run Its Last Race?
With less than three years to for the 2026 Commonwealth Games and no host, the future looks uncertain for CWG.
Australia’s state of Victoria withdrew as host of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, placing the future of the quadrennial multi-sport event in doubt and raising questions about the benefits and continued relevance of the Games. Victoria withdrew citing a projected budget blowout. The state’s premier Dan Andrews said the cost of hosting the Games could potentially rise to more than A$7 billion from a budgeted A$2.6 billion. Gold Coast in Australia could step in to host the 2026 edition as India’s Ahmedabad may also bid.
