Who can represent a country in the Commonwealth Games?
A competitor in the Commonwealth Games must be a citizen or subject of the country that enters him/her as defined in Article 24 of the CGF’s Constitution. Where a competitor was born in a Commonwealth country that has common citizenship/passport with other Commonwealth countries, for example, the UK, the competitor may initially represent either the competitor’s Commonwealth country of birth or the Commonwealth country of birth of his/her father or mother that shares the same citizenship/passport.
