Scotland Awaiting 2026 Commonwealth Games Decision

Scotland will find out in “two to three weeks time” whether it will stage the 2026 Commonwealth Games, according to the man involved in bidding to bring the event back to Glasgow.

Organisers are looking for a new host after the Australian state of Victoria pulled out last summer blaming rising costs.

Commonwealth Games Scotland chairman Ian Reid admitted “there’s no immediate news” despite originally expecting a decision earlier this year.

But he has reiterated his belief that Glasgow would be well-suited to staging a scaled-back event having hosted a full event in 2014.
