More than 1.5 million fans filled venues to watch this year\u2019s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and across the Midlands.<\/p>\n

Organisers also announced that 30,000 fans packed out the specially revamped Alexander Stadium<\/a> for 12 consecutive athletics sessions. The total number of 1.5 million tickets sold is higher than the projection set out by the organising committee.<\/p>\n

The Commonwealth Games ran between July 28th and August 8, with over 4,500 athletes competing across a number of sports. It also created 40,000 jobs and volunteering opportunities with millions of pounds invested into supporting people being physically active.<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games Federation president Dame Louise Martin DBE said: \u201cWe are emerging from one of the most challenging periods in modern history, where the Covid-19 pandemic has kept us apart. Birmingham 2022 proved to be a special moment when we reunited, when the power of sport to connect us came into sharp focus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only have we witnessed some iconic sporting moments, we\u2019ve also enjoyed the warmest of welcomes from the people of Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond who have made the Games so much more than just a sporting competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBirmingham has put on a Commonwealth Games unlike any we\u2019ve seen before. The passionate support across all 19 sports created an atmosphere which spurred our Commonwealth athletes onto new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commonwealth Games Minister Nigel Huddlestone added: \u201cIt\u2019s been a record breaking Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. We\u2019ve raised the bar on inclusivity and diversity with more women\u2019s medals than men\u2019s and the biggest para sport programme in the Games history.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur home nation athletes have made us all proud, cheered on by an army of 13,000 volunteers and some of the biggest crowds the city has ever seen with more than 1.5 million tickets sold. The Games truly have showcased the best of Birmingham and the West Midlands to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
