The deadline for the final bid submission is August 31, but India’s intent is clear to host the Commonwealth Games after the latest SGM, which approved the bid.&nbsp;<h2>IOA approves bid for Commonwealth Games</h2>“The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) recently hosted the Continental Tour in Bhubaneswar, a bronze-level competition. World Athletics vice-president Adille Sumariwalla, who was previously at the helm of the AFI, stated that the country will be pushing for bigger events in the near future,” a report from India Today stated.&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding further fuel to the speculation fire, PTI has also reported that IOA officials have decided to finalise Ahmedabad as the destination for the quadrennial event. Ahmedabad is also projected as the host for the 2036 Olympics in case India is successful in winning the bid.&nbsp;India last hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2010 as New Delhi, the country’s capital, acted as the host city.
