Summary
Sport Other Sports Commonwealth Games Four of the last seven editions have been staged in Great Britain, and it's clear that Commonwealth Sport realises it needs to cut ties to the mother country for its future relevance James Toney 12:47, 03 Aug 2026 Glasgow might have saved the Commonwealth Games, but don't expect to see them back on these shores for a generation. Four of the last seven editions have been staged in Great Britain, and it's clear that Commonwealth Sport realises it needs to cut ties to the mother country for its future relevance. Australian taxpayers ended up paying Glasgow £100m in compensation to stage the Games on their behalf and then duly topped the medal table with 70 golds. “Glasgow has acted as a bridge to the future of the Commonwealth Games movement,” said Commonwealth Sport president Dr Donald Rukare. “Every host writes its own chapter, and Glasgow’s has been one of bravery, courage, friendship and, above all, outstanding innovation.” India will host the centenary Games in 2030, and there are four private expressions of interest for 2034, with sports ministers having been wined and dined in Glasgow’s most expensive spots in recent days. Nigeria has made no secret of its desire to become the first African host, while New Zealand believes a lower-cost approach to hosting finally gives it a chance to welcome the Commonwealth for the first time since 1990.
Furthermore, Canada hasn't hosted since 1994 either. Insiders admit there is more chance of the Olympics coming back to the UK – with a bid mooted for the 2040s – before another Commonwealth Games. Thanks to National Lottery players, more than £33m is raised every week for good causes. India, which currently leads the world in anti-doping violations, won 13 golds to finish fourth in the medal table here and is expected to stack the sports programme to its athletes’ advantage.
In addition, Comparisons in sport are always difficult but Glasgow 2026 offered a blueprint for future hosts, showing the ‘Commies’ can still work when budgets don’t. Article continues below "We don't want hosts spending huge amounts of money on things we don't think are necessary any more.
