The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) changed its name in Sport in Commonwealth, saying that it was a transition from a director to become a “movement”. The decision to change its name was announced on the occasion of Commonwealth Day – March 10. “Since Commonwealth 2025 day, the Commonwealth Games Federation will be known as Commonwealth Sport,” said Commonwealth Games and Games for Commonwealth Games in a press release. “The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) changes its public brand name in Commonwealth sport. This brand development means the transition from the organization of a” sports federation “to a” sports movement “,” he added.
Commonwealth Sport CEO Katie Sadleir said: “The Commonwealth Sport brand name demonstrates a stronger and unified objective that resonates with our audience at a deeper level.” The “Federation of Commonwealth Games” will be preserved as the name of the legal entity only.
