Over 6,000 of the world's best athletes from 71 countries. Ten days of world-class competitions and cultural events. Hundreds of thousands of visitors welcomed to the city and to Scotland, with millions more watching on television throughout the world.
Yet the Games are much more than these statistics suggest. The legacy of staging the Commonwealth Games will mean new and renovated sports facilities in and around Glasgow; a clear focus for sports development throughout Scotland; a boost for the local and national economy and a catalyst for improved housing, transport and the environment. All within a dynamic, changing and multi-cultural city.
