India is set to host the Commonwealth Games in 2030, as the Commonwealth Sport's Executive Board proposed Ahmedabad as the host city on Wednesday. India last hosted the CWG in 2010 when Delhi was the host city.

The final decision on the host city for the 2030 edition will be made at the body's General Assembly on November 26. Nigeria was in the race, but Commonwealth Sport reportedly chose to consider the African nation for the 2034 edition.

"The Executive Board of Commonwealth Sport has today confirmed that it will recommend Amdavad, India, as the proposed host city for the 2030 Centenary Commonwealth Games," stated a press release from Commonwealth Sport.

"Amdavad (also known as Ahmedabad, in the Indian state of Gujarat), will now be put forward to the full Commonwealth Sport membership, with the final decision taking place at the Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow on 26 November," it added.
