Australian High Commissioner to India Philip Green has expressed strong support for India’s growth in the global sports arena, saying, “We strongly back India to be a leader in major sports development.”
Speaking at the FICCI TURF 2025 – Global Summit on the Business of Sports, Green highlighted several areas of potential collaboration:
India’s ambitions to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and possibly the 2036 Olympics.
-
Australian companies already working on sports infrastructure in India, including in Ahmedabad.
-
Opportunities in sports medicine, science, and technology where Australia can partner deeper with India.
Green’s remarks come amid broader bilateral efforts:
-
He previously emphasized Australia’s commitment to India’s “sports journey” during the Australia-India Sports Excellence Forum in Gujarat.
-
The two countries are discussing cooperation not just in elite sports performance, but also in sports science, event management, and infrastructure.
The message is clear: Australia sees India as a rising power in sport — and is ready to help it scale new heights.
