Hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games

[Charlie99]

Earlier today, I read about Singapore and Malaysia may be considering to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games (the "2026 CG")
May I suggest that the Singapore consider the reasons that Victoria, Australia; Alberta, Canada; City of Hamilton, Canada, decided not to host the 2026 CG.
Based on cost over runs incurred for a past Youth Olympics, and the estimated costs of about US$4 billion to host the 2026 CG, I believe that the US$4 billion can be put to much better use, to assist financially less well off senior citizens and younger families, with their medical and education.

Malaysia fancied as host for 2026 Commonwealth Games​

Malaysia has emerged as a frontrunner to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games after receiving an offer of almost $200 million to help salvage the multi-sport event.

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has offered Malaysia $194 million towards hosting the Games as negotiations continue with several nations, including Australia.

The CGF offer would be funded from the $380 million in compensation paid by the state of Victoria which withdrew as host last year, citing cost blowouts.

Commonwealth Games Australia chief executive Craig Phillips declined to comment on the Malaysia offer on Tuesday.

But Phillips has previously said Australia, while remaining keen to host the 2026 edition, would support other nations being given hosting rights.

The Olympic Council of Malaysia has confirmed the offer to replace Victoria as host of the next Games, which could be postponed until 2027.

“The offer includes significant financial investment of Stg 100 million ($194 million) to support the local delivery and legacy planning of the 2026 edition,” the council said in a statement.

A ‘formal invitation’ to host was received last month from the CGF, with two other nations outside of Australia also understood to have canvassed initial interest in hosting.

The CGF confirmed the possibility of the event being held in Malaysia.

“Malaysia has a fantastic track record of delivering sporting events and the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur were hugely successful,” a CGF spokesperson said.

“We are encouraged by their early concepts of building on this legacy through the use of many of the same world-class facilities.”

The CGF said it was in “advanced, confidential discussions with potential hosts” – any of which would benefit from the promised $194 million financial and strategic support available from the Victoria withdrawal settlement.
