Indian Olympic Association expresses interest in hosting 2026 Commonwealth Games

Firstpost  

The Indian Olympic Association on Thursday floated the idea of hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games, nine years after organising the 2010 edition that was marred by a corruption scandal. If government allows we can host the Games,” Mehta said in the presence of Commonwealth Games Federation President Louise Martin and CEO David Grevemberg. The host city of the 2026 CWG was initially intended to be selected at the 2019 CGF General Assembly in Kigali, Rwanda, but later, the CGF decided that it will be announced in 2020. The 2010 CWG in New Delhi was mired in controversy in the run-up to the event and then IOA chief Suresh Kalmadi and organising committee secretary general Lalit Bhanot were sent to jail in connection with the corruption scandal.
