Over 60 representatives from SLOC Inc.’s local member federations joined the one-hour webinar, during which the roles and responsibilities of national sporting federations were explained thoroughly. Also joining the webinar was Mr. Alfred Emmanuel, President of the St. Lucia Olympic Committee (SLOC) Inc., and Dr. Karen Pilgrim, Chairperson of the Caribbean Regional Anti-Doping Organization (RADO).

Ms. Makeba Alcide, Chairperson of the St. Lucia Athletes Commission, said SLAC felt the need to host the workshop for young athletes to engage, learn their personality traits, and how to write a résumé.
“For us here in Saint Lucia, we believe that it was a workshop that needed to happen, so thanks to Athlete 365 and the IOC for making it happen,” Alcide, a former elite track athlete turned sports administrator, said. “Hazel was really an awesome facilitator and the athletes were very engaging. We got over twenty participants and for us that was meaningful, especially for our young athletes as they need to grow and develop not only as athletes, but also as individuals.”

COMMONWEALTH SPORT CONFIRMS AMDAVAD, INDIA, AS HOST OF 2030 CENTENARY GAMES
* Amdavad formally ratified as Host of the ‘Amdavad 2030 Commonwealth Games’
* 20 Garba dancers and 30 Indian drummers turned the winning moment into a cultural celebration of the vibrancy, colour and carnivals the state of Gujarat is known for
* Glasgow 2026 thanked for setting the stage for India’s 2030 Centenary Games
* Commonwealth Sport also revealed an initial list of sports that will feature in Amdavad, with further sports to be added in due course following a selection process
Amdavad, India (also known as Ahmedabad) has today been formally ratified as the host of the Centenary Commonwealth Games in 2030, marking a historic moment for the Commonwealth Sport Movement.
The decision confirms that the world’s most populous nation will stage the landmark edition of the Games, after delegates of the 74 Commonwealth member nations and territories ratified India’s bid at today’s Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow.
India presented a compelling vision for the 2030 Games, centred in the Gujarat city of Amdavad (Ahmedabad), which will build on foundations laid by Glasgow 2026, enabling India to celebrate the centenary in style.
Moments after Amdavad was announced as hosts of the 2030 Commonwealth Games, 20 Garba dancers and 30 Indian dhol drummers burst into the General Assembly Hall, surprising delegates with a rich cultural performance that provided a taste of the heritage and pride that Athletes and fans can expect from a Games hosted in the Indian state of Gujarat.
Garba is a dance that originated in Gujarat and the performance featured members of Glasgow’s Indian community, and those from other parts of the Commonwealth, in a show of both diversity and unity across the Movement to start the journey from the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games to the Centenary edition.
The first Commonwealth Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. Australia topped the medal table at the most recent Games, staged in Birmingham, England, in 2022, with the rest of the top five made up of England, Canada, India and New Zealand.
Dr Donald Rukare, President of Commonwealth Sport said: "This is the start of a new golden era for Commonwealth Sport. After a 'Games reset' we head to Glasgow 2026 in fantastic shape to welcome the 74 teams of the Commonwealth before setting our sights on Amdavad 2030 for a special Centenary edition of the Commonwealth Games.
“India brings scale, youth, ambition, rich culture, enormous sporting passion and relevance, and I'm delighted to report strong interest from a range of nations to host the 2034 Games and beyond. We start our next century for the Commonwealth Games in good health."
Dr PT Usha, President of the Commonwealth Games Association of India said: “We are deeply honoured by the trust shown by Commonwealth Sport. The 2030 Games will not only celebrate a hundred years of the Commonwealth Movement but also lay the foundation for the next century. It will bring together Athletes, communities, and cultures from across the Commonwealth in a spirit of friendship and progress.”
The Sports Programme
In addition to confirming the hosts for 2030, Commonwealth Sport also confirmed that 15 – 17 sports will feature at Amdavad 2030.
The Amdavad 2030 team will work closely with Commonwealth Sport and the International Federation community to shape a dynamic and exciting sport programme with strong local resonance and global appeal.
This will follow Commonwealth Sport’s recently concluded Sport Programme Review which outlines the sports which will feature at the Commonwealth Games: Athletics and Para Athletics, Swimming and Para Swimming, Table Tennis and Para Table Tennis, Bowls and Para Bowls, Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting, Artistic Gymnastics, Netball and Boxing.
The process to finalise the remainder of the programme will start next month, and the full Centenary Games line-up will be announced next year.
The sports under consideration are: Archery, Badminton, 3x3 Basketball and 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Cricket T20, Cycling, Diving, Hockey, Judo, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Rugby Sevens, Shooting, Squash, Triathlon and Para Triathlon and Wrestling.
The host can also propose up to two new or traditional sports.
Duncan Scott, multiple Commonwealth Champion swimmer, said: “The Commonwealth Games are a special part of my career. Taking part in a home Games is incredible, so I’m excited for Indian Athletes who’ll get to do that in 2030. And for everyone else we’ve got an opportunity to expand our horizons and experience the ambition and colour of Amdavad and India. I loved the chance to compete in the Gold Coast in Australia as part of a travelling Team Scotland.
“We look forward to handing over the Games to Amdavad in great shape after welcoming all to Glasgow next year.”
Jaismine Lamboria, World Champion boxer from India, said: “It truly is a proud moment to see India become the host of the Centenary Commonwealth Games. Amdavad will give Athletes and fans a very warm and vibrant welcome and having the opportunity to compete on home soil in 2030 will be a huge motivation for me and for many others. I’m excited for the next decade for Indian sport.”
