The “compact concept” of utilising existing infrastructure and facilities offers a sustainable model for the Commonwealth Games which, significantly, will allow more countries to host the tournament in future.

The Commonwealth Games APPG is delighted to hear that Glasgow will host the Commonwealth Games in 2026 #commonwealthgames2026 #glasgow

[APPGCommonwealthGames @APPGCGames]

We agree with @thecgf: Glasgow will deliver a world-class tournament.

It is disappointing that the Commonwealth Games are now in jeopardy due to falling through in Australia. The UK should work as quickly as possible to find a resolution and protect the Games, which have only been interrupted twice during WWII @spellar. https://t.co/dCR7Wpj91v

God Save the King! The Commonwealth Games APPG wishes King Charles III and Queen Camilla a wonderful #Coronation - may they be blessed with a long and happy reign. To see the celebrations attended by so many Commonwealth members shows its importance to the new King and Queen.
