The slimmed-down games, which will cost around £115, are understood not to cost the public purse, with funding coming from the Commonwealth Games Federation as part of the Victoria financial settlement towards the cost of the Games.
Glasgow has been announced as the host of the 2026 Commonwealth Games after securing support from both the Scottish and UK governments.
The next edition of the Games was supposed to be hosted in Australia but local organisers pulled the plug in a row over costs. "It is because Glasgow is a world-class event hosting destination, with the facilities and expertise required to deliver such an event as the Commonwealth Games, that we are able to proceed.
In a bid to keep costs down, the 2026 Games won't feature any running or cycling events that require public roads to be closed - meaning no marathon will take place.
