Glasgow is being praised for its work in delivering the 2026 Commonwealth Games, as the event’s organising team looks ahead to the next host city. In statements marking the “baton pass” to Ahmedabad—often referred to as Amdavad—Glasgow 2026’s head says the legacy of the Games, including the changes made during planning and delivery, will influence how the event develops in future editions. Both reports describe Glasgow’s role as a demonstration of how scaled and adapted Games can still leave lasting outcomes for host communities, infrastructure, and future planning. The focus is on continuity between hosts: Glasgow highlights the impact of its preparations and delivery choices, while Ahmedabad’s organisers receive the baton to begin their next phase of preparations. The coverage presents the baton pass as a formal transition in responsibility for future Games planning and as an opportunity to carry forward lessons from Glasgow 2026, particularly those tied to the Games being scaled back from earlier ambitions.
