Mar 11, 2024

The Commonwealth Games could be returning to Malaysia after over a quarter of a century!  

The Olympic Council of Malaysia confirmed it received an offer from the Commonwealth Games Federation to become the new host, after the Australian city of Victoria pulled out.  

OCM adds that the Federation's offer comes with a financial package of £100 million.  

It will hold talks with the Youth and Sports Ministry over the proposal.
