The control of this sporting event is handled by the Commonwealth Games Federation. This event was first organized in 1930, then the name of this sporting event was British Empire Games. The original idea of the sporting event was that of an Indian named Ashley Cooper. Considering the event as right for mutual peace and harmony, he proposed it to the immediate politicians. In the year 1928, Canada's leading athlete Bobby Robinson was entrusted with the responsibility of organizing the first Commonwealth Games, in 1930 this sporting event was held for the first time, in which 400 players from only 11 countries took part.

In 1978 it was unanimously named the Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 saw a major change, when sports such as cricket, hockey and netball made their appearance for the first time. Although cricket is still not recognized. Athletes with disabilities are included as full members of their national teams. The Commonwealth Games is the first fully inclusive international multi-sport event. In 2018, the Games became the first global multi-sport event to feature an equal number of medals for men and women. The Commonwealth Games recognizes three policies: humanity, equality and destiny.
