Four provinces: Manitoba, Ontario, PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador submitted expressions of interest for the United 2030 Commonwealth Games bid from Canada.
Posting randomly here and there. I hope everyone is doing fine.
I now happen to work in the sport industry, and part of my job is evaluating bids for sporting events. Funny how my interest from all those years ago has now led to a job 😂
Asuncion lost by 4 votes in the revote for 2027. They are also hosting the 2025 Junior Pan ams (ie all of the voters will be there). Rio hosted in 2007, so its pretty clear who is expected to win here.
We have two official bids
Asuncion, Paraguay and Rio de Janeiro-Niteroi, Brazil. One would think the former is the favourite, especially if the Junior Pan Ams go of well this summer.
Toronto has all the venues except the track, arguably the most expensive venue to build. Can't see a Toronto bid unless the stadium is privately financed or its use changed post games (could work if converted to a baseball field like in 96)
