A number of athletes have been reported missing after the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, with authorities in Scotland investigating the circumstances. 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 confirmed that it has received reports of several unaccounted-for athletes and is working with the Home Office to assess the situation. Commonwealth Games CEO Phil Batty emphasized the importance of ensuring athlete safety and security, stating that the organization works closely with law enforcement and immigration authorities to ensure compliance with regulations.
The Home Office has stated that it will take necessary action if any immigration law breaches are identified, and will take steps to prevent abuse of the immigration system. The Ugandan ministry of education and sports has been contacted for comment on the matter.
