Larry Romany, president of the T&Tobago Commonwealth Games Association (T&TCGA) has informed the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) that T&T will not submit a bid to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The deadline date for confirming an intention to bid is on Wednesday.

The T&TCGA and the Government of T&T conducted a full review, open, constructive and candid discussions in respect of all the current and projected circumstances and concluded that progressing a 2018 bid at this time is not a prudent or responsible course of action.

“Arriving at this point demanded balancing aspirations, ambitions, practical and pragmatic considerations. “We wish the other potential 2018 candidates best of luck,” said T&TCGA and T&TOC president Romany.
