2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow Scaled Down
The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will feature a significantly reduced lineup of sports, with only 10 events compared to previous editions. Key sports such as hockey, rugby sevens, cricket, and diving have been omitted, leading to disappointment from various sporting bodies and nations like Pakistan, which relied on these disciplines for medals. The decision for a scaled-down event follows Victoria's withdrawal as host due to rising costs, prompting Glasgow to step in as the new venue. The reduced program aims to minimize costs and environmental impact, with events planned across four venues within an eight-mile corridor. Athletics, swimming, and other select sports will proceed, but the exclusion of popular sports has drawn criticism and concern over future Games. Organizers assure that this does not set a precedent for future editions, indicating potential variations depending on future hosts.
