With the Commonwealth Games Federation now saying it is open to discussions with any member nations interested in taking on the staging of the event, Yousaf said he would investigate what might be possible.“We were desperate for the games to go ahead in 2026, given that we know how excellent the preparations have been going for Team“Let’s see what the art of the possible may be.
“So, I’ve seen those comments. I’ve asked my team to explore whether that’s a possibility or not, but it may be difficult, but let’s see what the art of the possible is.” Scotland has hosted the Commonwealth Games on three occasions, twice in Edinburgh in 1970 and 1986, and most recently in Glasgow in 2014.
