Liverpool Named U.K.'s Top Sporting City, Boosting Hopes To Host CWG

The Liverpool 2022 Commonwealth Games bid received a boost when the city was named the No. 1 sporting city in the U.K. by ESPN and the University of Bath. The research project, set up in '15, surveyed more than 5,000 fans across the country. Liverpool's partner city for its 2022 CWG bid, Manchester, was second on this year's list. The news comes as Liverpool enters the final phase of competition to be nominated as the U.K.'s candidate to host the '22 Games. If successful, Liverpool 2022 will then bid with int'l cities before a final decision is taken by the Commonwealth Games Federation toward the end of the year (Liverpool City Council).
