After a hiatus, the Maldives made its return to the Commonwealth Games in 2022. The country had previously lost the opportunity to compete in the Games following the decision by former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration to withdraw from the Commonwealth in 2016.
However, the Maldives later rejoined the Commonwealth during the administration of former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih. Following this reintegration, the country participated in the Commonwealth Games held in the United Kingdom in 2022.
