Olivia and Kristin making some friends at the Team Scotland Achieve Programme 2026 pictured with 2014 and 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games mascots’ Clyde and Finnie.
The Achieve 2026 Programme is a mentor-led initiative designed to inspire and support young Scottish athletes and coaches as they prepare for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The program includes a 5-day trip to Glasgow, where participants will spectate various sports, visit Team Scotland House, and engage in interactive workshops. The aim is to increase understanding of the elite competitions and how to maximise the experience for athletes and coaches.
Have a great day and we look forward to hearing all about it!
About Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games:
A new kind of Games. Rooted in Glasgow. Built for the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Games return to Glasgow in 2026, from July 23rd until August 2nd, and it’s brilliant to be back!
As only the third city in history to host the Games twice, Glasgow brings deep experience and unmistakable character to this global moment. From world-class sport to street-level celebrations, Glasgow 2026 will be an 11-day festival of energy, community and ambition — all set within an eight-mile corridor that puts fans, athletes and the city side by side.
This is a Games powered by people, delivered by Glasgow 2026 Limited, the Organising Company established to stage the event in partnership with the Commonwealth Sport and Commonwealth Games Scotland (CGS). The company is led by a specialist team with major event experience, and a sharp focus on legacy, access and innovation.
We’re proud to be pioneering a leaner, more sustainable model for major events — making the most of Glasgow’s world-class venues, infrastructure and know-how from 2014. This edition of the Games will be delivered with no public funding from the Scottish or UK Governments, and is being backed by the Commonwealth Games Federation with support from Commonwealth Games Australia.
With fewer barriers to hosting and a smarter, city-centred approach, Glasgow 2026 sets a bold new standard, designed to inspire future hosts across the Commonwealth.
Even with the new model, at its heart, it’s still the same story:
3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories.
10 sports. Four iconic venues.
One unforgettable host city.
All coming together to deliver the most inclusive, community-driven and connected Games yet.
