Lol back to square one. The only reason Hamilton 2026 failed was because the Ontario government wanted to host in 2027 (to avoid overlap with the Soccer World Cup) and now the CGF is okay with it...just lol

I do think it would be preferable if the 2026(2027) event was in Canada if that could be done, if only for the historical 'reset' it allows. Celebrate the Centenary, but emphasise the 'evolution' AWAY from empire games, and away from 'Olympics' clone to something more like a Commonwealth Championships model with more hosts of fewer sports, with a push to host in smaller and newer members appropriate to their size, and an emphasis on indigenous and first nations communities as 'hosts' of the Games - Canada and Australia do this a lot already, but CWG seems a very good place to push this - perhaps the whole queen's Baton lark should end now, replaced with something indigenous and culturally significant to each nation that hosts...

Last (as fas I know) international multi-sports games of the year begin today 

 

It's another one of the minor para sports games: https://worldabilitysport.org/world-abilitysport-games/world-abilitysport-games-2023/ (livestreaming available at that website)

The trend of para sport integration at major multi-sports games continues. The FISU will include two para sport competitions for the first time in 2025.

Karlsruhe  has emerged as a likely candidate (if not host) for The World Games 2029. It would be the first city to host twice.

Barranquilla confirmed as the 2027 Pan American Games host.

Colombia has failed to pay the first installment to ODEPA. Strong rumors of withdrawal already.  

 

Some say Paraguay has interest in hosting but I think that's very unrealistic.

Wow, quite a few multi-sports games without hosts heading into the next cycle. Hopefully we’ll see a lot of news on that front this year. 
 

It does seem like there’s interest from a few nations in hosting the Pan American Games at least. I still think LA should take it as a test event, but that’s just a selfish and unrealistic desire to have them in my backyard essentially  (Plus, I wouldn’t wish anymore strain on my local communities anyway.)

I already said this, PAG won't last long. There's just not enough interest to justify the investment. I see a future with only SAG and CACG standing on this side of the world or maybe PAG survives with some form of multiple country hosting.

 

 

I think this will go to Sao Paulo. Read some mentioning Miami since pan am sports is there.
