A five-member delegation from Commonwealth Sport, led by President Donald Rukare, began a four-day review of preparations for the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Gujarat on April 8, 2023. This visit is the first on-ground assessment since Ahmedabad was confirmed as the host city. The team, which includes officials from the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), is inspecting key venues such as Narendra Modi Stadium, Veer Savarkar Sports Complex, and Vadodara Cricket Stadium. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stated that Gujarat is committed to a time-bound plan for venue and infrastructure readiness, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for effective planning. The 2030 Games, set for October, will feature participation from 74 Commonwealth nations and will mark India's second hosting of the event after New Delhi in 2010. The delegation's visit signals a shift towards implementation, focusing on operational strategies and venue readiness, as Gujarat undergoes significant infrastructure expansion linked to the Games, which also supports India's bid for the 2036 Olympics.
