Our congratulations to The Bahamas and Bahamas Olympic Committee! The Bahamas were recently awarded the 2017 edition of the Commonwealth Youth Games, aiming to unite 1000 young athletes aged 14-18 in a Caribbean carnival of impactful competition, personal development and new Commonwealth friendships.
The 6th edition of the Commonwealth Youth Games will take place from 19-23 July 2017 in the nation’s capital, Nassau and seven sports are proposed: Aquatics (Swimming), Athletics (Track and Field), Boxing, Cycling (Road), Judo, Rugby Sevens and Tennis. It will be the first time Judo has been presented at a Commonwealth Youth Games.
As part of the Federation’s commitment to partner and support peaceful, sustainable and prosperous Commonwealth communities, it will be the second edition of the Youth Games to be held on a Small Island Developing State, following the hugely successful Samoa 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in September last year. It will also be the first Commonwealth Games event to be held in the Caribbean for over 50 years, with Commonwealth athletes last participating in the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica.

It is with immense sadness that the Commonwealth family hears of the passing of our Life Vice-President, Commonwealth gold medallist and former CGF Chairman, Sir Peter Heatly.
From gold medals at the 1950, 1954 and 1958 Commonwealth Games to leading the Federation as Chairman from 1982-1990, the legacy of his transformative impact on the Commonwealth sporting movement will always be celebrated and cherished.
On a personal level, he was my General Team Manager at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth and I have been privileged to know him as a friend ever since.
On behalf of the Commonwealth Games Federation, I extend our sincerest condolences to his family and pay proud tribute to an inspiring life dedicated to Commonwealth sport.
- Louise Martin CBE, President, Commonwealth Games Federation.

Congratulations to Durban2022, unanimously chosen as Host City of the XXII Commonwealth Games. Welcoming the announcement, CGF President HRH Prince Imran said:
“Over more than eight decades, many great Commonwealth cities, nations and territories have hosted the Games in order to build peaceful, prosperous and sustainable communities, inspired by the actions and achievements of our Commonwealth athletes, and underpinned by our values of Humanity, Equality and Destiny.
Our friends from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa are now primed to make the most of that responsibility and opportunity, and it gives me very great pleasure to welcome the South African City of Durban as proud host of the XXII Commonwealth Games. As a movement, we stand together to welcome and support the very first Commonwealth Games on African soil.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blondqeOROg&sns=em
