Fresh uncertainty surrounds the next Commonwealth Games, despite Glasgow’s widely praised hosting of the 2026 event. Ahmedabad is expected to host next, but the Indian Olympic Association has said there is no guarantee the Games will proceed as planned, intensifying concerns over the competition’s long-term viability.

Glasgow staged a reduced-format Games over 11 days after Victoria, Australia withdrew as host in 2023. Organisers and participants praised the city’s delivery, which generated local pride and demonstrated that the event can still succeed, but repeated host difficulties have left its future uncertain.
