Every four years, we endeavour to come together to celebrate our Commonwealth through sport. Thanks to the manner, style and enthusiasm with which you have competed, officiated, supported, organised and volunteered, you have, once again, brought the spirit and values of the Commonwealth to life. You have inspired us and hopefully future generations. You have also demonstrated what unites us. Thank you all, thank you Glasgow. 

So now, in time honoured tradition, I call upon the athletes from all countries and territories of the Commonwealth to gather in four years’ time in Ahmedabad, India, to celebrate the 24th Commonwealth Games and what will be the centenary of these Games. 

Until then, on behalf of His Majesty The King, our patron, and in the name of Commonwealth Sport, I proclaim Glasgow 2026 closed.
