A very important decision for Indian sports will be announced today at 6 PM. The host city for the Commonwealth Games 2030 will be revealed, and Ahmedabad is one of the strongest contenders. An Indian delegation has already reached Glasgow, Scotland, where the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) will make the final announcement. If India wins the bid, this will be the second time the country hosts the Commonwealth Games—the first was in 2010 in New Delhi.
India has been preparing for this bid for the past few months. The Gujarat government and the central sports ministry have submitted a detailed plan to CGF. The proposal highlights Ahmedabad’s sports infrastructure, transportation facilities, metro connectivity, hotels, and the world-class Narendra Modi Stadium, which is one of the largest stadiums in the world. Officials believe that Ahmedabad can deliver a modern, secure, and well-planned multi-sport event.
The Indian delegation in Glasgow includes senior officials from the sports ministry, Indian Olympic Association (IOA), and experts who helped prepare the bid. They will present the final pitch today before the voting takes place. If Ahmedabad is selected, it could bring major economic benefits, international tourism, and large-scale development to Gujarat.
The Commonwealth Games 2030 host selection has two main competitors along with India. However, analysts say India’s chances are strong due to its recent success in organizing major events like the G20 Summit, Asian Para Games, and large cricket tournaments. CGF members have appreciated India’s enthusiasm and long-term planning for sports growth.
Hosting the Commonwealth Games will also support India’s dream of becoming a global sports hub. New stadiums, training centres, athlete villages, and improved public transport networks are expected to be part of the project. It will also create many jobs for local youth.
As the clock ticks towards the 6 PM announcement, sports fans across India are excited and hopeful. If Ahmedabad wins, it will be a huge milestone in Indian sports history and a proud moment for the nation.
