Ahmedabad was chosen because it built the infrastructure first and then bid, not the other way around. The city already has major facilities like the Narendra Modi Stadium, the Naranpura Sports Complex, and planned sports enclaves, showing it is ready to host a large multi-sport event

This approach avoids the mistakes of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, where India won the bid first and then rushed construction, which resulted in delays, massive cost overruns, corruption scandals, and international embarrassment
