New Zealand mulls bid for 2034 Commonwealth Games
The HinduThe New Zealand Olympic Committee has signalled an interest in bringing the Commonwealth Games back to the country for the fourth time in 2034, the body said on Wednesday. The NZOC said the prospective bid had government backing and had been encouraged by the new hosting model implemented by the Commonwealth Games Federation, which allowed for more “flexible and innovative” Games. “New Zealand is a brilliant host of sporting events, and we know we would hold a fantastic Commonwealth Games,” she added. “While this is an exciting step, we acknowledge that discussions are in the early stages and there is a significant process to go through before we are ready to confirm a bid.” The next Commonwealth Games in 2026 will be held in the Australian state of Victoria, while India and the Canadian province of Alberta have expressed interest in staging the 2030 edition, a century after the first British Empire Games.
