The Sri Lankan city of Hambantota and Australia's Gold Coast have submitted nominations to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) said on Thursday.
India will host the 2010 games in New Delhi in October and Glasgow (Scotland) has been selected to stage the 2014 edition.
"Each city has recognised the enormous benefits that flow from hosting a Commonwealth Games," CGF president Mike Fennell told CGF website (www.sportcom.com.au/thecgf/), a day after the March 31 deadline to nominate a candidate city.
The host will be selected at the CGF general assembly in St Kitts and Nevis in October next year. (Reporting by Sanjay Rajan; Editing by Ed Osmond. To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)
