India Set to Revitalize Commonwealth Games with 2030 Hosting Rights

India is set to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Ahmedabad, enhancing possibilities for shooting and badminton to rejoin the event after being excluded from the 2026 edition. The event's expanded program accentuates India’s passion and market strength in these sports, offering a greater global sporting spectacle.

India's acquisition of the 2030 Commonwealth Games hosting rights has been warmly received by the world shooting and badminton governing bodies.

The International Shooting Sport Federation and the Badminton World Federation hailed the decision, which they believe bolsters prospects for these sports' return after their exclusion from the 2026 iteration.

With Ahmedabad as the host city, the 2030 Games will feature up to 17 disciplines, reflecting India's commitment to global sporting prominence, especially given its fervent following in shooting and badminton.
