This is our invitation. Come to Glasgow to compete and celebrate

Glasgow is an unforgettable city: modern, vibrant and dynamic. Glasgow is a place that thrives on sport and loves to compete.  Known the world over as the Friendly City, we are the ideal host for the Friendly Games.

Since the very first Commonwealth Games in 1930, Glasgow and Scotland have been an integral part of the Commonwealth Games Family.  We have a long history of successfully staging major sporting and cultural events. The XX Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be an unforgettable experience, and a statement to the world about the kind of country Scotland has become.

Games that inspire the performance of their lives
We have a vision for the Games that we want the world to share. Imagine a Games which inspire everyone involved to achieve more than they thought possible. Celebrating the very pinnacle of sporting and personal achievement.

Our plans for 2014 will create an environment where all athletes who take part will have the performance of their lives. Our Games will not just be about the winners on the medal podium; we want to reach their limits, to achieve the extraordinary.

Away from the venues, the Games will take over our city. From the fan sites in Glasgow’s public parks, to bars, restaurants, theatres and museums. Every part of our great city will be involved in the celebration.
