The 2018 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XXI Commonwealth Games or Gold Coast 2018, were an international multi-sport event held in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, between 4 and 15 April 2018. It was the XXII Commonwealth Summer Olympics, and its first games were held in Asia. The Gold Beach was a popular venue, and the city’s vibrant nightlife and beachside location were ideal for hosting the games.
The Gold Coast welcomed the Commonwealth Games with open arms, shoring up its infrastructure, and refraining from spending billions of dollars on new stadiums. However, the city made sure to improve the existing stadiums and venues and the temporary stand increased the capacity to nearly 35,000 people. That temporary stand will now be taken down, and the giant scoreboard will be restored to its proper location. The 2018 Games will be one of the biggest in the city’s history, and it will be a memorable one.
The Games have a significant financial cost, and their global reach has been dwindling since the 1960s.

It was a spectacular and historic event, bringing prosperity to the entire region. The city has become a hub for athletes.
