Multiple host cities and indoor ceremonies could become features of a more affordable and attractive Commonwealth Games in the future.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) President, Chris Jenkins, says the new streamlined model taken by Glasgow in 2026 will ensure the Games live on well past its 100-year anniversary in 2030.
Jenkins says the Commonwealth Games model has been changed for good and hopes it will encourage more hosts going forward.
He says future hosts are being told not to build or redevelop venues but to co-host with other cities or countries that have existing facilities.
Jenkins adds athletes will stay in hotels and ceremonies could take place indoors at future Games.
Jenkins is about to invite bids to host the next three Games to give nations, sports, and athletes certainty over the event's future.
The Games could become bigger again after Glasgow with up to 17 sports, rather than the 10 selected for 2026.
