The Indian city of Amdavad has vowed to “lay the foundation for the next 100 years” after being confirmed as the host for the centenary edition of the Commonwealth Games in 2030 amid a riot of colour and noise in Glasgow.

The city in the west of the world’s most populous country was ratified as the host on Wednesday, having been proposed by governing body Commonwealth Sport’s evaluation committee last month in preference to Abuja in Nigeria.

In doing so, it was revealed that 15-17 sports will feature at the second Games to be held in India – up on the 10 scheduled for next summer’s reimagined event in Glasgow, but fewer than the 19 in Birmingham in 2022.

Athletics, swimming, table tennis, bowls, weightlifting – plus their Para-sport equivalents – will be joined by artistic gymnastics, netball and boxing, with the process to finalise the remainder of the programme starting in December.

Under consideration are archery, badminton, 3×3 basketball, beach volleyball, T20 cricket, cycling, diving, hockey,  judo, rhythmic gymnastics, rugby sevens, shooting, squash, triathlon and wrestling.

Amdavad can also propose up to two new or traditional sports for the event, which they will host in October of 2030 to take weather considerations into account.
