The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) will, for the first time, hold its Board meeting outside of Europe, with Eswatini as the desired destination! This exciting news was revealed by Maxwell Jele, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Eswatini Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association (EOCGA).
The Federation will host its board meeting at the end of September, marking a significant highlight for both the EOCGA and the country as a whole. The decision to hold the board meeting in Eswatini carries great significance, showcasing the nation’s ability to host international events and highlighting its commitment to sports and the Commonwealth Games. This opportunity not only enhances Eswatini’s profile on the global sporting stage but also promotes local tourism and community engagement.
In their most recent meeting, the board named a task team responsible for ensuring the smooth execution and success of the event. This dedicated team comprises Nhlanhla Maphanga, Maxwell Jele, Pearl Dlamini, and Victor Dlamini, all of whom bring valuable experience and expertise to the planning process.
The four-day meeting will also include courtesy calls to the country’s leadership and visits to areas of interest, further fostering connections between the CGF and Eswatini. This historic event promises to be a remarkable opportunity for collaboration and growth within the Commonwealth sports community.
