Today the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has hosted its Orientation Briefing for representatives of the two cities, Durban, South Africa and Edmonton, Canada which have indicated their interest in bidding to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Led by CGF Chief Executive Officer Mike Hooper, the day-long session provided both cities with a detailed insight into the candidature phase of the bidding process.
Topics under discussion included the importance of establishing robust financial parameters, drafting of strategic frameworks and processes for strengthening existing stakeholder relationships.
Mr Hooper said: "As the first tangible step towards the 2022 Commonwealth Games, I’m overwhelmed at the level of enthusiasm already demonstrated by the teams from Durban and Edmonton. While recognising much work is still to be accomplished before next year’s bid deadline, I’m confident both cities will continue to engage as the bid process evolves."
Bids for 2022 Commonwealth Games are due to be lodged with the CGF by 2 March 2015. The host city will be elected by the CGF membership at the General Assembly, which will be held in Auckland, New Zealand on 2 September 2015.
