Durban to host 2022 Commonwealth games

South Africa's Durban city will host the 2022 Commonwealth games. It will be first occasion when an African city will host Commonwealth games.

The 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth Games Federation made the decision unanimously on Wednesday after receiving Durban’s final candidate city briefing at the general assembly in Auckland. Durban was the only candidate left when Edmonton withdrew its bid in February, citing costs.
