India has secured the hosting rights for the 2029 World Police & Fire Games (WPFG), which will feature over 10,000 athletes and be held across three cities in Gujarat's Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Ekta Nagar (Kevadia). The athletes will represent police, fire, customs and correctional services departments from over 70 countries.

"India now joins a prestigious group of past host nations including Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, China, and the United States, affirming its arrival as a central player in the global multi-sport ecosystem," a release from the state government said.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday expressed happiness over India being designated as the host country, terming it as a moment of great pride for every citizen.
