MALDIVES RE-JOINS AS MEMBER OF COMMONWEALTH GAMES FEDERATION

The Maldives Commonwealth Games Association has been re-admitted as a member of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), paving the way for the South Asian island nation to compete at future editions of the Commonwealth Games. The Maldives missed the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games due to the Maldives government’s withdrawal from the Commonwealth in 2016.

The resolution for the re-admission of the Maldives was approved in a vote of the 71 Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs), meaning that the Commonwealth sporting family grows to 72 nations and territories.

The CGF resolution comes after the Maldives Government’s application for re-admission to the Commonwealth was approved by Commonwealth Heads of Government and announced by the Commonwealth Secretariat earlier this year.

The Maldives has a proud record at the Commonwealth Games having competed in eight editions of the competition, beginning in Edinburgh in 1986 and most recently in Glasgow in 2014.

In a letter to Maldives President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and the Maldives CGA confirming the news, CGF President, Dame Louise Martin DBE, said:

“I am delighted to confirm the re-admission of the Maldives as a Member of the Commonwealth Games Federation.”

“The Resolution for the re-admission of the Maldives was overwhelmingly approved by our Membership, and on behalf of the entire Commonwealth Sport Movement, may I congratulate you as we welcome your country and your inspirational athletes back to the Commonwealth Games.”

“It will be an honour and a privilege to see the Maldives compete at the next Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022, where there will be huge support for your island nation especially at the Opening Ceremony.”

“It is a pleasure to see the Maldives return to our family of nations and to work with us to uphold our collective values of Humanity, Equality and Destiny.”

About the CGF

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is the organisation that is responsible for the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games, and for delivering on the vision of the Commonwealth Sports Movement: to build peaceful, sustainable and prosperous communities globally by inspiring Commonwealth Athletes to drive the impact and ambition of all Commonwealth Citizens through Sport.
