“Like the Olympic Torch Relay, the King’s Baton Relay symbolises the spirit of the Commonwealth Games.

“However, following Queen Elizabeth II’s death on September 8, 2022, the baton relay was renamed the King’s Baton Relay in honour of her successor, King Charles III, for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

“His Majesty the King, Patron of Commonwealth Sport, officially launched the inaugural Commonwealth Sport King’s Baton Relay for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games at Buckingham Palace on Commonwealth Day, Monday, March 10, 2025.

I”n an unprecedented initiative, Commonwealth Sport is collaborating with the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) for the Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics Campaign.

“This partnership aims to spotlight ongoing ocean conservation efforts and innovative solutions to plastic waste.

“The programme encourages athletes and communities to prevent one million pieces of plastic from polluting Commonwealth waters, fostering lasting change in our approach to plastic pollution.

“The campaign will accompany the King’s Baton Relay as it journeys through every Commonwealth nation and territory.

“The King’s Baton Relay (KBR) for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games commenced in the Caribbean, celebrating the event from March 11, 2025.

“The relay will traverse 74 Commonwealth nations and territories.

“Reimagined for a new Games model and monarch, the KBR now emphasises environmental and financial sustainability.

“Africa is the second region to host the KBR, which will be celebrated for six days.”

Nigeria and other African countries will participate in the festivities from June 15 to June 18, 2025.

“For the first time, each nation and territory will receive a baton to showcase its culture, creativity, and vision.

“Moving away from past museum-style batons, the ambition is for each country to highlight its cultural wealth through bespoke baton decorations.

“In Nigeria, the Nigeria Olympic Committee and Commonwealth Games, Nigeria will decorate the baton,” he said

To facilitate this, Nezianya said a joint committee comprising the Nigeria Olympic Committee and the National Sports Commission will be established to plan and execute the programme.

The baton will be presented to His Majesty during the Opening Ceremony of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games in Scotland on July 26, 2026, he said.
