A number of athletes have gone missing after the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, with authorities confirming they have received reports of several competitors whose whereabouts are unknown. According to NBS Sport, a Ugandan sports news outlet, four members of Uganda's boxing team failed to rejoin their delegation before the team's scheduled departure from Scotland on Tuesday. Police Scotland has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the missing athletes and is working closely with the Home Office.
Commonwealth Games CEO Phil Batty emphasized the importance of ensuring athlete safety and security, stating that organizers work closely with law enforcement and immigration authorities to ensure compliance with regulations. The Home Office has a policy of not commenting on individual asylum cases and will take necessary steps to address any potential breaches of immigration law.
