‘Extensive work’ to find new host for 2026 Commonwealth Games: officials
Commonwealth Games officials said on Wednesday that “extensive work” was under way to find a solution for the 2026 edition after the Australian state of Victoria’s shock withdrawal as host in July. At a meeting in Singapore, the Commonwealth Games Federation briefed its members on “on-going work being done across four regions to secure a host”, the organisation said in a statement. “We have updated our members on the extensive work being done to find a solution for the Games that is in the best interest of athletes and the wider Commonwealth sport movement, and have had constructive and forward-looking discussions,” CEO Katie Sadleir said. During the CGF’s annual general assembly members also voted to include Gabon and Togo, bringing the total number of countries and territories in the federation to 74, the statement said.
