The Commonwealth Sports Federation (CGF) changed its name to Commonwealth on Monday and said that it is a change to become a ‘movement’ from the institution. The decision to change the name was announced on 10 March on the occasion of Commonwealth Day. “Commonwealth Sports Federation will be known as Commonwealth Games from Commonwealth Day 2025,” Commonwealth Sports and Commonwealth Youth Games Operations Institution said in a media release.
According to the release, the Commonwealth Sports Federation is changing its public brand name to Commonwealth. The brand reflects the change in the development organization’s ‘Sports Federation’ to ‘Sports Movement’. “The Commonwealth Games CEO Katy Sudler said,” Brand name Commonwealth Games reflects a strong, more integrated purpose that connects to a deep level with our audience. “
The ‘Commonwealth Sports Federation’ will be named only as the name of the legal unit.
