Sport & Major Events
From training camps to mega events like the Commonwealth Games, we host some of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. Our central location, combined with our unrivalled facilities and amenities, means that we’re often the preferred choice for local community groups and international athletes alike.
A global impact
We have a wealth of experience in hosting world-class sporting events, national governing bodies and professional sports clubs, and love using our specialist expertise to help athletes be at the top of their game.
Last year, we had the honour and privilege of hosting the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games on campus, as the Official Competition Venue for hockey and squash and the Games’ largest Athletes’ Village.
We’re also a key partner of Birmingham City Council’s new 10-year major events strategy, which aims to see the city provide a platform for hosting future major sports events for years to come.
