1. INTRODUCTION
The report prepared undertakes into account the commonwealth games which are also
considered Friendly games, which were first held in the year 1930. The commonwealth games
are conducted every 4 years
(Abas, Blismas and Lingard, 2021). It can be
explained as an international multi-sport event in
which athletes counting disabilities also have
healthy competition. The commonwealth of nations
is constructed of companies that were colonized by
the British empire counting a total of 54 territories.
With the development of the Common wealth game
federation in the year 2001, all sport-related games
are conducted under its rules and actions. The commonwealth game can be said as an 11-day
event in which international athletes can be seen to face competition in a bigger range of sports
with a motive which is to bring Commonwealth territories, countries, and states at one place
together.
2. Description of development
2.1 Background of the project
The commonwealth games are a friendly international multi-sports event among
commonwealth nations and a few independent territories. Over the past few years, almost 72
teams seem to participate in it. There are four home nations of the UK (United Kingdom),
Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, all these home nations are seen participating
with their independent teams. The mega event was first held in 1930, it is also known as the
British Empire games event from 1930 to 1950. As a part of 1942 to 1946 due to World War II,
the event couldn’t be held in this time frame. The event was held after every four years passed
like FIFA World Cup, Olympics, and cricket world cup(BBC, 2010).
The name British Empire games were observed to change with different eras of time, as
after the partition of the subcontinent the name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth
Game from 1954 to 1966. After that, the name of the event was again updated to the British
Commonwealth games from 1970 to 1974 when the athletes with disabilities were included in

many games. In 2018 British commonwealth games had achieve remarkable success and became
the multi-sports event in the world with the equal contribution of both men and women. It is also
encouraged social justice in society (Abotaleb et.al., 2020).
The reason behind the start of this
event in commonwealth countries is the
motivation of the inter-Empire Championships
which later became part of the event. The
complete management of this mega sports
event is managed by GCF (commonwealth
Federation), Control of all associated sport-
related programs, dealing with sponsors, security affairs, and the selection of host cities is also
managed by Commonwealth Federation which seems a very exciting and easy task but in actual
it requires great commitment and effort to make it up to the mark and successful in various
manners. During the event or sports matches, some other monitoring and managing bodies works
for the coordination of the Commonwealth Federation such as the international sports federation
Ifs, Commonwealth Games Associations CGAs, and separate organizing body for each
commonwealth game. Without such professional groups, it is impossible to conduct such an
international Mega sports event("Victoria, 1994).
There are many world-famous rituals and symbols of Commonwealth games such as the
Commonwealth game flag and Queen’s Baton Relay in the opening and closing ceremony. It is
such a big sports event that more than 5000 athletes from different countries participate in 250
sports events from 15 different sports. Apart from these sports, there are some other sports as
well which are mainly common in commonwealth countries and not even part of Olympic, this
saying will not be wrong that after Olympic it is the biggest sports event internationally.
Organizing such a reputable mega sports event is not only a challenging task but a great
prestigious opportunity as well. The commonwealth games Birmingham, 2020 management
agreement set out to design the role and responsibility and the framework of accountability
within which Birmingham will operate during the event. The purpose is also to make an
organized set of design for all departments such as digital, cultural, Media and sport and decides
the role and priorities of these coordinated departments. This agreement period is covered during
