A games legacy for Scotland
In 2014 the Commonwealth Games will open in Glasgow. Scotland, particularly Glasgow, will host up to 6500 athletes and officials from 71 Commonwealth countries and territories across 17 sports and will welcome many visitors and spectators. Glasgow 2014, and other major sporting events happening both in Scotland and in the UK between now and 2014, will bring a wealth of opportunities and are about far more than delivering world-class sport. They are about creating a lasting legacy for Scotland.
They are about making faster progress towards a healthier nation, developing healthy communities and a strong and flourishing economy. Above all, they are about making the whole of Scotland fit for the future and enhancing Scotland's reputation internationally.
The full legacy plan was launched by the First Minister and Councillor Purcell of Glasgow City Council on 1 September, 2009.
