How many countries will be in the Commonwealth Games?

The Commonwealth Sport Movement The Commonwealth is an association of sovereign nations which support each other and work together towards international goals. There are 52 member countries, spanning across Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific – all of which have equal say, regardless of size or economic stature.

This ensures even the smallest member countries have a voice in shaping the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Games is open to eligible competitors of the Commonwealth Games Association of all Commonwealth countries, colonies and dependent or associated territories of a Commonwealth country. Although there are 52 Commonwealth nations, the Commonwealth Games Movement recognises 72 nations and territories.

Each of these nations/territories has a Commonwealth Games Association. Each of these Commonwealth Games Associations have exclusive authority to send athletes to participate in the Commonwealth Games. Sport underpins the unique connections and friendships which bring together a third of the world’s population as citizens of the nations and territories of the Commonwealth.

For more than eight decades the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has taken a global leadership role in uniting the Commonwealth’s athletes, citizens and communities through the transformative and connecting power of sport. Inspired by the diversity and dynamism of the Commonwealth itself and its enduring commitment to human rights, democracy and the rule of law.

Among the CGF membership are some of the world’s largest and smallest countries, from India, with over 1.2 billion people to Niue with a population of 1,600. More than 60% of the Commonwealth citizens are under 30. Today, the Commonwealth Games Federation is far more than the curator of a great Games.

As a cornerstone of the Commonwealth itself, our dynamic sporting movement – driven by its values of Humanity, Equality and Destiny – has a key role to play in an energised, engaged and active Commonwealth of Nations and Territories. And with new members joining, a hugely successful Gold Coast 2018, preparations for Birmingham 2022 well underway, the Commonwealth is entering an era of renewed relevance.

Every organisation and individual that works with us and supports us in our mission is part of the Commonwealth Sports Movement. : The Commonwealth Sport Movement

Why is USA not part of Commonwealth Games?

In 2017, the Telegraph reported that the US could become an associate member of the Commonwealth but no step has been taken in that direction since. They were once a British colony but unlike most others, they aren’t a part of the Commonwealth Games. The non-participation of the US, unlike their neighbours Canada who are a Commonwealth Games powerhouse, has often attracted a few curious questions.

One of the reasons, according to the Birmingham Mail, is war. The Commonwealth is a group of 54 nations that were once part of the British Empire. The US became independent from the UK in 1776, after 13 American colonies broke away and declared themselves a republic, refusing to recognise the British monarch as their head of state.

This – the need to recognise the king or queen as the head of state – was a prerequisite to remaining a part of the Commonwealth. However, after India became independent in 1947, it wanted to continue being a part of the Commonwealth while also becoming a republic.

• This prompted the London Declaration of 1949, which stated that ‘republics and other countries could be part of the Commonwealth.’ So, India continued to be a part of the Commonwealth – and thus, the CWG – even though it does not recognise the Queen as its head of state.
• In the case of the US, it was seen as a different case.

“Since the USA practically battled against a foreign ruling monarch, their re-entry into the Commonwealth was unlikely,” the Birmingham Mail reported. In 2017, the Telegraph reported that the US could become an associate member of the Commonwealth but no step has been taken in that direction since.

When did Canada leave the Commonwealth?
