Ahmedabad is due to receive the Commonwealth Games handover at Glasgow 2026’s closing ceremony.
The ceremony formally passes the Games’ symbolic host baton and flag to the next host city. Ahmedabad, in the Indian state of Gujarat, is scheduled to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, also known as the Centenary Games because they mark 100 years since the first Commonwealth Games in 1930.
The handover follows Glasgow’s role as host of the 2026 edition from 23 July to 2 August. It is a customary part of the closing ceremony, linking the outgoing Games with the next edition and giving the future host an opportunity to present its culture and plans to the Commonwealth audience.
The answer is Ahmedabad rather than India because the question asks for a city. Kuala Lumpur was associated with an earlier proposed 2026 hosting possibility, Gold Coast hosted the 2018 Games, and Birmingham hosted the 2022 edition. None of those cities was next in line after Glasgow.
