Glasgow would be a safe bet for a short timeframe i.e. 2 years however Accra could be looked at as a host with a longer run in time such as 2030

If Glasgow hosts in 2026, it appears that Scotstoun Stadium would host Athletics https://www.bbc.com/sport/commonwealth-games/68836994 I still think Hampden Park would be a better venue - Athletics especially in the UK always does get great crowds so investing in building the track at Hampden Park like 2014 would be needed. Compare the pair

Would love the Games to return to Scotland! Glasgow would make one fine host

Very disappointing news out of Malaysia - at least according to Craig Phillips there is still three more cities in four continents in discussions with the CGF

Today is the day that the Malaysian cabinet will meet and decide whether they will host the 2026 Commonwealth Games

This is a complete disaster. Why do we in Australia ruin major sporting event chances.. first with the Commonwealth Games and now with the Olympic and Paralympic Games...

There is no way Brisbane would cancel 2032. That would be an absolute disaster

There is a Qld Election in October this year. Fingers crossed that the LNP come in and fix up this mess and get the Stadium back at Vic Park

WOW. Surely they don't go down the QSAC route - that would be a disaster

When someone gets their hands on the full report (PDF?) please send it through - will be an interesting read to read it without any bias from news organisations or politicians.

Melbourne will become the biggest Aus city within the next 10 years

For those wondering about the revised Brisbane Live Arena's location - https://brisbanedevelopment.com/olympic-recalibration-review-recommends-new-victoria-park-olympic-stadium/

Great news. For me I would’ve been happy with either a new Gabba or stadium at Vic Park

London prepared to host if Malaysia falls through

If this means the Commonwealth Games are saved then I don't care - VERY POSITIVE news for the Commonwealth Games movement and quite fitting that this is announced on Commonwealth Day.

If Malaysia goes ahead with a bid for hosting the Games, one would think they would need to host in 2026 as they are hosting the SEA Games in 2027 - two events in a single year would be too much for them I would think and hinder the promotion and marketing of both events.
