NZOC CEO Nicki Nicol responds to today’s announcement regarding Victoria’s sudden withdrawal from hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2026.
“We are incredibly disappointed to learn that Victoria has withdrawn from hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
This unexpected announcement is unsettling for New Zealand Team athletes who were working towards a Games close to home in just under three years-time.
We are looking to the Commonwealth Games Federation as it begins a process to appoint a new host for 2026.”
