Well it is not Europe so could be another African city like Ghana who indicated interest in 2026 following their 2023 African Games. Another option if Singpaore or Malaysia who didn't bid for 2026 due to the short turnaround. I hope Canada get 2030 given they hosted the inaugural Games back in 1930. Then I would have New Zealand hosting 2034 (can see the CGF going India though for either of those Games) before returning back to Europe for 2038 (possibly a Welsh bid). Australia won't host again until at least 2042.

Seven nations have expressed interest in hosting 2030 or 2034 so perhaps we may see a double awarding in Glasgow later this year. https://www.commonwealthsport.com/news/4249776/seven-nations-declare-interest-in-future-games-hosting

Chris Jenkins has resigned following findings from the Ethics Commission however cannot find the published findings on the website.

People are complaining about the Brisbane 2032 venue changes yet LA still are changing things!

Could they do a double awarding 2030 - Canada 2034 - Abuja or Ahmedabad

So it is down to India or Canada. Like 2010!

What I find frustrating is people want to harp on about Brisbane 2032 still confirming venues however LA are still changing venues and Paris were changing their venue plan too after winning the bid. It happens!

There are some social media posts regarding Borabi , Perry arriving to Glasgow to meet Clyde. I wonder if Clyde will again be the mascot or if they are preparing to unveil the 2026 mascot at an event later this week?

Incorrect. The Brisbane Live Arena is not at the Gabba location, it is next to the Gabba at the goprint site. Wlll be built for 2032.

Brisbane Live is not dead. They are going to private sector to fund it.

Whilst there was some confirmation today regarding the Victoria Park Stadium (Athletics/Ceremonies), National Aquatics Centre (Swimming) etc, to me there seems to still be a lot of more grey area. What sports are allocated to the indoor stadiums at Logan, Moreton Bay, Chandler, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, what will Brisbane Live host? What 'key events' will be staged at the Brisbane Showgrounds? I guess we need to wait until the sport-venue plan is announced before we can really get excited with confirmation of what sports will be held at what venue. Despite Fitzroy River being announced today to host Rowing, I still have my doubts and think it may get moved. Given the Premier basing his plan on the Games in Queensland with no Rowing in Sydney or Tennis in Melbourne, I wonder if we will see Soccer matches moved from Melbourne and Sydney?
