Commonwealth Youth Games

Trinidad and Tobago are set to host the Commonwealth Youth Games in the summer of 2023, it was announced today at the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly in Birmingham.

Commonwealth Games Federation President Dame Louise Martin has announced that Trinidad and Tobago will host the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games.

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has said it will conduct a full review of the Commonwealth Youth Games, with recommendations set to be published in early 2022.

Olympic Games executive director Christophe Dubi has said Lausanne 2020 provided an opportunity to educate and empower young people, as the one-year anniversary of the Winter Youth Olympic Games was marked.

THE COMMONWEALTH Games Federation (CGF) executive board, in partnership with the TT Olympic Committee (TTOC) and Ministry of Sport, have decided to explore rescheduling options for the 2021 Commonwealth Youth Games.

Talks have begun to plot a way forward for the Commonwealth Youth Games which is scheduled to be held in T&T, next year.

The hosting of the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) 2021, originally scheduled for August 1-7 next year, could be postponed. But a final determination won’t come until September/October of this year.

"There is life after COVID19 and the COVID19 pandemic and I see the CYGTT2021 as playing a very important part in being a catalyst for the post-COVID19 pandemic life and era."

With COVID-19 putting a stranglehold on sporting events worldwide for this year, T&T Olympic Committee (TTOC) president Brian Lewis is staying positive with the prospect of this country being able to host the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) next year.
