Sunday’s meeting will deal with a number of issues, where the CFG Americas group will hear from the Regional Anti-Doping Agency (RADO) and more importantly, representatives from the Gold Coast; host for next year’s Commonwealth Games.
The 21st (XXI) Commonwealth Games will be held in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, April 4-15, 2018. It is the fifth time Australia will be hosting these Games which is an international multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations.
The event was first held in 1930, and, with the exception of 1942 and 1946, which were cancelled due to World War II, has taken place every four years since then. The most recent Commonwealth Games took place in Glasgow, Scotland in 2014.
