COI (Commonwealth Games Association)

A Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) is the official organization responsible for representing a country or territory within the Commonwealth Games. It manages athlete selection, national team organization, and ensures that participation aligns with the Commonwealth Games Federation's rules and standards. The CGA acts as a bridge between the national sporting community and the international event, promoting sports development and fostering national pride. Essentially, it's the governing body that prepares and coordinates a nation's involvement in the Commonwealth Games, ensuring their athletes compete under their nation's banner and uphold its sporting integrity.
