The 2010 Commonwealth Games will see around 7,000 athletes and team officials from 71 nations and territories descending on New Delhi, making it the biggest turnout in the Games history.

There were 5,766 athletes and team officials in attendance in Melbourne.

"Delhi 2010 is set to become the largest ever Commonwealth Games and we are confident that the Games will be conducted smoothly," said Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CGOC) secretary Lalit Bhanot.
Bhanot said the figure is likely to go up as more athletes may still be included.

"This number is likely to go up as the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has a policy for accepting late entries and there are many requests."
