Micronesian Games Council Confirms Kiribati as Host of the 2030 Micronesian Games

Tamuning, Guam — June 6, 2026 — The Micronesian Games Council (MGC) has officially selected the
Kiribati Micronesian Games Association as the host of the 2030 Micronesian Games, following the most
competitive bidding cycle in the event’s history.

Four jurisdictions — Chuuk, Kiribati, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Palau — submitted complete bids, reflecting the growing strength and regional commitment of the Micronesian Games movement.

However, the Northern Mariana Islands withdrew their application due to the devastation caused by Super Typhoon Sinlaku.

The MGC Executive Board conducted a comprehensive evaluation of each bid, including Games concepts, facilities, accommodations, transportation plans, financial capacity, and alignment with
long-term development goals. Kiribati’s proposal earned the Council’s confidence and was endorsed by
majority vote during the General Assembly on June 6, 2026.

MGC President Joey Miranda III praised the strong interest shown across the region. “The Micronesian Games are a celebration of our shared identity, our youth, and our commitment to
regional cooperation. We congratulate Kiribati and thank all bidding jurisdictions for their dedication to
advancing sport and unity in Micronesia.” Established in 1969, the Micronesian Games bring together athletes from across the region every four years. The 11th edition will be hosted by Nauru from January 14–23, 2028, featuring 17 confirmed
sports.
