Athletes vanish after Glasgow Commonwealth Games

Several athletes have gone missing after the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, which concluded on Sunday, with Police Scotland reporting them as unaccounted for after they failed to return home with their teams. Reports indicate four members of the Ugandan boxing squad did not board their flight home, with one telling NBS Sport they intended to seek asylum in Scotland. Pakistani boxer Qudratullah also reportedly failed to join his teammates and was not found in his room. The incidents echo past Games, including Glasgow 2014, when dozens of athletes disappeared. Police Scotland is engaging with the Home Office, while Glasgow 2026 officials say they are working with Border Force and UK Visas & Immigration to ensure a secure conclusion.
