        Histórico

        The Rev Ashley Cooper had first suggested a four yearly 'English speaking' festival of sport for countries within the British Empire in an article in The Times in 1891. However it was not until 1911 that an 'Inter-Empire Championships' took place at Crystal Palace as part of the 'Festival of Empire' to mark the coronation of King George V.

        It would be 1928 before any formal steps were taken to organise a British Empire Games. In that year, the Canadian Melville Marks 'Bobby' Robinson was promised support from the Hamilton civic authorities and, after meetings with the Empire representatives, it was agreed that the first British Empire Games were to be held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930.

        The 'British Empire Games' was renamed the 'British Empire and Commonwealth Games' at a meeting of the Federation on 20 July 1952. A further meeting on 7 August 1966 saw it becoming the 'British Commonwealth Games' before finally changing its title to the 'Commonwealth Games' on 27 January 1974.

        The British Empire Games Federation, later the Commonwealth Games Federation, was formed at a meeting held in Los Angeles, 7 August 1932. Just as the International Olympic Committee is the governing body in charge of the Olympic Games, the CGF oversees the direction and control of the Commonwealth Games.
