A total of seven sports – aquatics, athletics and para-athletics, cycling (road and track), Fast5 netball, Rugby sevens, triathlon and beach volleyball – have been confirmed to feature at the games. Beach volleyball and triathlon are tentatively scheduled to be held in Tobago.

A committee statement on Monday read, “Sport ambassadors will have the opportunity to showcase their passion for sport and events, as well as love of TT and the region’s culture.

“They will benefit from specialised training and certification, working alongside a professional team with international experience, while also gaining practical skills, building community and making new friends.”

For the games, emerging athletes aged 14-18 will be joining from across the Commonwealth’s 72 nations and territories.

TT Commonwealth Games Association president Diane Henderson said, “We look forward to welcoming the Commonwealth to Trinbago 2023, with young athletes and spectators from across the globe set to join us in August.”
