Delegates of the 74 Commonwealth member nations and territories ratified India’s bid at the Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow on Wednesday. It will mark the return of the multisports event in the country after 20 years. India last hosted the CWG in 2010 when it was held in the national capital.

India presented a compelling vision for the 2030 Games, centred in the Gujarat city of Ahmedabad, which will build on foundations laid by Glasgow 2026, enabling India to celebrate the centenary in style.

"I am very proud that the Commonwealth Games 2030 are going to be held in Ahmedabad.

This is not just a proud moment for Ahmedabad or for Gujarat, but for the entire country. I began my tennis journey in this city, so it feels especially meaningful to me," Zeel told IANS.

"I am confident that this will inspire many young athletes. The infrastructure being developed, along with the new stadiums that will be built for the Games, is excellent and will further elevate sports in our country.

"For our Indian athletes, competing against international players who come here will be a wonderful opportunity to learn, grow, and excel," she added.
