The 2026 Commonwealth Games came to an end after 11 days of competition, with Scotland formally handing over the Commonwealth Games flag and ceremonial baton to India, which will host the landmark centenary edition in 2030, during a glittering closing ceremony at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on Sunday.

The 2030 Commonwealth Games will be held in Ahmedabad, making India only the second nation after Australia to host the multi-sport event on more than one occasion. 

Glasgow Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren then passed the flag to Commonwealth Games Scotland vice-chair Susan Jackson, Scottish netball player Emily Nicholl, Commonwealth Sport president Dr Donald Rukare, two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra, Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha, and finally Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi.

The ceremony officially marked the transfer of hosting responsibilities from Scotland to India, with Ahmedabad set to stage the 2030 Commonwealth Games, the event's 100th anniversary edition.

India enjoyed an impressive outing on the sporting front, finishing fourth in the medals table with a total of 39 medals---13 gold, 17 silver and nine bronze---to conclude a successful Commonwealth Games campaign
