AlQa'dah 18, 1436, Sep 2, 2015, SPA -- The South African city of Durban was selected as the host for the 2022 Commonwealth Games at the Federation's general assembly in New Zealand on Wednesday, Reuters reported. The coastal city was the only bidder for the multi-sports event after the Canadian city of Edmonton withdrew from contention in February, citing falling oil prices. Organisers said the Games would be held from July 18-30, opening on the birth date of the late South African president and anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela. The Commonwealth Games are held every four years and feature athletes from over 50 countries.
