Ahmedabad remains the ideal city to host the grand event
A press released issued by the Indian government said the Indian city of Ahmedabad remains an ideal host city, offering world class stadiums, cutting-edge training facilities, and a passionate sporting culture.
Narendra Modi Stadium, the largest stadium in the world, has already demonstrated its capability by successfully hosting the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Final.
"Beyond sports, hosting the CWG in India would leave a lasting impact boosting tourism, creating jobs and inspiring millions of young athletes. Apart from that, a large number of professionals will be getting opportunities in Sports science, Event Operations and Management, Logistics and transport coordinators, Broadcast and media, IT and communications, Public relations and communications and in other fields as well," the statement said.
Hosting such a globally prestigious event will foster a strong sense of national pride and unity.
It will provide a shared national experience and boost the morale of our Nation.
It will inspire a new generation of athletes to enter into Sports as a career option and encourage greater participation in sports at all levels.
India had previously hosted the multi-nation event in 2010 in New Delhi.
The final decision on the host nation will be made by the General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport in the last week of November in Glasgow.
