Extract A
Commonwealth Games, Birmingham, 2022
Durban, South Africa, was due to stage the Commonwealth Games 2022 but withdrew
due to financial and practical concerns. Bids were also submitted by Edmonton, Canada
and Liverpool, but the Commonwealth Games Foundation (CGF), chose Birmingham, the
UK’s second biggest city. 5
Over 1,000 people will be recruited to deliver Birmingham 2022. Job vacancies will
include roles related to administration, planning, marketing and security. Recruitment
and training of staff will be led by Gi Group, a world leader in human resource
management.
Gi Group will deliver comprehensive recruitment services and fill over 1,000 roles across 10
multiple specialisms, including selection, training and on-the-job support. Gi Group will
also assist all Birmingham 2022 staff with developing their careers from August 2022,
once the Games are over.

Extract B
Huge progress at the Birmingham 2022 Alexander Athletics Stadium
Since planning permission was granted in January 2020, the demolition of three existing
stands at the Perry Park site has been completed and work has started on rebuilding the
stands with steelwork from British companies.
The £184m scheme remains on budget and scheduled for completion in spring 2022, 5
ahead of its initial use as the venue for the Commonwealth Games athletics competition.
After the Games, the stadium is set to become a focal point of health, wellbeing, sport,
academic and community activity as part of a £500m City of Birmingham Regeneration
Scheme.
The stadium, which will hold around 30,000 spectators at each session during the 10
Games, will switch to a permanent capacity of around 18,000 post-Games – the largest
permanent facility capable of hosting international athletics in the UK. Furthermore, it
will continue to be the home of the world-famous Birchfield Harriers Athletics Club.
