LONDON - Commonwealth sport has hit the jackpot with seven nations across four continents jostling to host future editions of the Commonwealth Games, as the race for the prestigious centennial 2030 celebration heats up.

Canada, India and Nigeria had already publicly thrown their hats into the 2030 ring, with two mystery nations also now in the mix, the governing body said on April 16.

Meanwhile, two additional expressions of interest target future Games, including New Zealand, which has set its sights on 2034.

"We are thrilled with the incredible interest from around the Commonwealth," said Commonwealth Sport chief executive Katie Sadleir.
