International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and Badminton World Federation (BWF) welcomed the Commonwealth Sport general assembly’s unanimous decision to award the Games to the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

The 2030 Games will feature 15 to 17 disciplines, a significantly higher number compared to the scaled down 10-event Glasgow 2026 edition. Glasgow dropped, among others, shooting and badminton to cut down the cost of the Games.
