Nigeria has formally declared its intention to submit a bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, with Abuja set to potentially serve as the host city.

Following the Nigeria Olympic Committee’s (NOC) verification that they have successfully adhered to the March 28 deadline for expressing their intent, this declaration has been made.

Tony Nezianya, who represents the NOC, stated in an announcement made on Monday that the subsequent phases of the bid will depend on securing official support from the federal government.

“Hosting this event presents Nigeria with a special chance to demonstrate our progress, boost our international reputation, and energize our sporting ethos,” Nezianya stated, highlighting how organizing such a competition can be significant beyond just athletics, fostering a sense of national dignity.

The most recent significant multisport competition held in Nigeria was the African Games of 2003, staged in Abuja. This event provided valuable expertise, thereby strengthening Nigeria’s capability to successfully host large international sporting events.

The suggested proposal seeks to encourage investments in sports infrastructure, particularly in Abuja, potentially rejuvenating the regional sports economy and enhancing facilities for coming generations. Organizing the Commonwealth Games might accelerate the development and enhancement of sporting arenas, transport networks, and lodging options, providing enduring advantages to athletes and citizens alike.

Nezianya also pointed out the possible substantial economic uplift, mentioning that the increase in visitors would benefit nearby enterprises and lead to job creation, notably within the tourism industry. Getting ready for this occasion would result in many work openings, mainly in areas like event coordination and building, thus promoting local business growth and skill enhancement.

Furthermore, the Games aim to motivate a new wave of athletes, offering them inspiration and tools needed to thrive in their respective sporting fields. This initiative goes beyond mere organization; it seeks to establish Nigeria’s reputation as a country that highly regards athletic success and nurtures emerging talents.

As per NOC’s statement, the announcement fits into an extensive calendar of sports events, which includes the ANOCA School Sports’ Games in Algeria scheduled for this July and the forthcoming Commonwealth Games planned for March 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland. It’s worth highlighting that Africa will be hosting the Youth Olympic Games for the first time ever; Dakar, Senegal, is slated to welcome these games at the end of 2026.
