Commonwealth Games Federation
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is the organisation responsible for the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games, and for delivering on the vision of the Commonwealth Sports Movement: through sport, we create peaceful, sustainable and prosperous communities across the Commonwealth
- Federations & Governing Bodies
- London, UK
- 50-250 employees
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 nine decades the Commonwealth Games Federation has taken a global leadership role in uniting the Commonwealth’s athletes, citizens and communities through the transformative and connecting power of sport.
We're inspired by the diversity and dynamism of the Commonwealth itself - a voluntary association of 72 nations and territories - and its enduring commitment to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Among our 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.
The CGF is transitioning from a governing body with a series of quadrennial events, to a global sporting movement, focused on driving wider social change. We have launched a bold new strategy “Commonwealth United” that helps us refocus on our origins as a progressive leader in sport and social development, demonstrating the power of sport to unlock our human potential and transform lives.
Every organisation and individual that works with us and supports us in our vision: “Our Commonwealth, united through sport”.
