SQA and the Commonwealth Games 2014

The 20th Commonwealth Games in 2014 will be held in Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland. The winning city was announced by the Commonwealth Games Federation on 9 November 2007 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Games will run for 12 days from 23 July to 3 August 2014. It will be the largest multi-sport event ever held in Scotland, although the country previously hosted the Games in 1970 and 1986 in Edinburgh.

SQA has been actively engaged with Scottish Government and the Legacy Committee of Scotland's Commonwealth Games 2014. While the Organising Committee organise the event, the multi-agency legacy committee ensure that the surround is in place to ensure that the Games leave a lasting legacy in Scotland. The main thrust of Legacy Committee is to use the Games as a vehicle for engagement and economic development.
