Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games – What do we know so far?

Three other venues have also been widely tipped to host some events.

The Emirates Arena, which was built for Glasgow 2014, is home to Scotland’s only velodrome as well as the Commonwealth arena which Glasgow Rocks basketball team calls home.

It previously hosted tennis and indoor athletics competitions. It can hold 7,000 spectators, while the velodrome has the capacity for just under 2,000 people with space for a further 2,000 temporary seats.

Just up the road is Tollcross Swimming Pool, which is favoured to host aquatics events, and the SEC events campus, which hosted multiple events in 2014.

Team Northern Ireland athlete Rhys McClenaghan has already backed the SSE Hydro to host Gymnastics if the sport is included.

He said: “My first European title was in Glasgow in the Hydro and I have amazing memories there – when I think of Glasgow I think of gymnastics.”

All four of these venues are owned by Glasgow City Council.

Hampden Park hosted the athletics competitions in 2014 but this is owned by the SFA, which means renting it could come with a hefty price-tag.

CGS said their proposal would comprise venues within an eight-mile-radius.

This rules out Glasgow 2014 venues Strathclyde Country Park in Motherwell which hosted the triathlon, the diving venue of the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh and the Barry Buddon shooting centre in Dundee.

Other venues built for the 2014 games, such as the National Hockey centre in the Glasgow’s Gorbals don’t appear to be apart of any plans.
