Australian athletes preparing for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are reported to have been warned not to wear their distinctive green and gold team uniforms while out in the city, amid wider safety concerns. Both reports link the caution to recent violence in Glasgow, including a nearby murder, and describe worries about rising disorder. One account says an athlete encountered the aftermath of a murder while training and that violent protests followed, prompting guidance on how athletes should move around the city. The warnings also include advice that athletes should train in groups rather than alone. The outlets frame the measures as precautionary steps intended to reduce athletes’ visibility and mitigate potential risk in public spaces. Neither report provides details on the nature of the specific threat, the source of the instructions, or any official confirmation in the articles. The reports nonetheless indicate that preparations for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games involve heightened attention to personal safety and movement while in Glasgow.
