Birmingham’s bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games has been officially backed by the government.
Birmingham beat Liverpool earlier in September as Britain’s candidate city.
The cost of staging the event is expected to be at least £750m, which would be the most expensive sports event in Britain since London 2012.
Announcing Birmingham will be the UK’s official candidate city.
Culture Secretary, Karen Bradley, said “The Government believes it would provide value for money and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham would be brilliant. It would showcase the best of Britain to the world and make the entire country proud.”
