United KingdomThe article discusses the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which will be held from Friday until 2 August. The event will feature 215 gold medals and a record number of 47 para-sports events, though it will be significantly scaled down compared to the 2014 Games in Glasgow, which featured 261 gold medals. The Games were chosen after Australia's Victoria state withdrew due to financial concerns, with the projected cost rising to over A$6 billion. Glasgow will host the Games across four venues, with no public funding used, relying instead on commercial revenue and a £100m investment from the Commonwealth Games Federation. The opening ceremony will be held at the Hydro, attended by athletes from 74 nations and dignitaries including UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Scotland's First Minister John Swinney.
