Sean McCann, the younger brother of missing Madeleine McCann, is selected to represent Scotland in swimming at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Reports say the 21-year-old will make his Commonwealth Games debut and will compete in freestyle events. The Glasgow Games run from 23 July until 2 August 2026.
Multiple outlets also report that Sean’s twin sister, Amelie, is selected for the same Games, representing Team Scotland as well. Coverage describes Sean as a high-level swimmer who has previously competed for Scotland at the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games, with placements including fifth in the 400m freestyle and seventh in the 1500m freestyle. He is described as training extensively and studying chemical engineering. Several articles note his wider ambitions, including targeting future Olympic qualification.
Sean’s selection is reported alongside a reminder of his family’s media attention since Madeleine went missing in May 2007 during a holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
