This is the first Commonwealth Games to be held in England for 20 years. More significantly, it is a key major sports event since the pandemic, building on the country being back open for business and showcasing Birmingham, West Midlands and the whole country.
Mims Davies comments:
‘'I am so delighted to be attending the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. As the former Sports Minister, I was heavily involved with the launch of the preparation for the Games and I couldn’t be happier to see this event finally take place. We’re looking forward to hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham which, with an estimated TV audience of over 1.5 billion will showcase the city, the whole of the West Midlands and the UK to the rest of the world, it will demonstrate our country as a destination for sport, business, leisure, tourism and education."
This is a Games for everyone, a level playing field for men and women with a fully integrated para-sports programme, and a huge emphasis on the Commonwealth’s youth. There is no better stage to showcase the world’s most inclusive, fair and progressive multi-sport event.
