Following the conclusion of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, a number of athletes have been reported missing, according to authorities. A local Ugandan sports news outlet, NBS Sport, claims that four members of Uganda's boxing team failed to reunite with their delegation prior to the scheduled return to Uganda on Tuesday. Police Scotland has confirmed receiving reports of missing athletes and is currently investigating the circumstances in collaboration with the Home Office.
Commonwealth Games CEO Phil Batty emphasized the importance of ensuring a safe and secure environment for athletes, stating that they work closely with relevant authorities to monitor arrivals and departures. The Home Office is set to take necessary action if any immigration law breaches are identified, and it has measures in place to prevent potential abuse of the immigration system. The Ugandan ministry of education and sports has been approached for a statement on the matter.
