Commonwealth Sport Director of Sport, Ann Louise Morgan, and Technical Consultant Neil Carney recently toured Ahmedabad’s Vijayi Bharat Foundation (VBF) to inspect the facilities in preparation for the CWG 2030 Games. This visit is part of a high-level delegation’s assessment of Gujarat’s readiness for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
During the visit, Morgan, Carney, accompanied by Olympic medallist Gagan Narang and VBF Directors Durgesh Agarwal and Dilip Thaker, explored the VBF campus, including the High-Performance Centre (HPC) and various Field of Plays (FOPs). They commended VBF for promoting gender equity in high-performance sports programs, particularly in supporting young female athletes.
Led by Donald Rukare, President of Commonwealth Sport, the delegation is currently in India to evaluate Amdavad’s infrastructure, establish timelines, and assess venue suitability for the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The team, along with Indian Olympic Association officials, is conducting inspections of proposed venues across the host region, including prominent locations like the Narendra Modi Stadium and the Statue of Unity in Ekta Nagar.
India secured the hosting rights for the 2030 Commonwealth Games during the General Assembly of Commonwealth Sport in Glasgow on November 26 last year, marking the country’s second time hosting the event after the 2010 edition in New Delhi.
