Each team has had a Welcome Ceremony at the Village to mark the end of their journey to the Games which is hosted by one of Glasgow 2014’s chieftains who include rugby legend Gavin Hastings, Scotland’s most successful Olympian Sir Chris Hoy and Scotland’s first ever Gold Medallist for gymnastics Steve Frew.
Athletes have been enjoying a last few days of relaxation and last-minute preparations in the outstanding facilities the village has to offer.
Tony Sainsbury, Glasgow 2014’s Head of Villages, said: “There’s a terrific atmosphere in the Village now with thousands of athletes settling in and looking forward to the sporting action ahead. They are especially enjoying the great range of food we have on offer in the dining room and the cafes in the Village.”
On Wednesday evening all of the teams will join the 2,000 cast members in the Opening Ceremony representing the host city to 40,000 people at Celtic Park with a potential television audience of over 1.5 billion viewers will tune in from all corners of the globe.
Details of the opening ceremony have been kept under wraps, but the Head of Ceremonies and Artistic Director, David Zolkwer said: "It will feel like it is made in Glasgow. It will be distinctive, irreverent, funny, principled, sincere, personal and direct.
"We are going to host a party that welcomes the people of the Commonwealth into our home. Guests will arrive and gather, stories will be shared, everyone joins in and no one wants to leave - a typical Glasgow party.
"The Opening Ceremony is also about 'all of us' and our collective generosity of spirit. How we can alert people to those in most need and spotlight others sharing our common wealth," he said.
Thousands of volunteers will share the limelight with world-famous names including Rod Stewart, Susan Boyle and Nicola Benedetti to help the city tell its own story and welcome the Commonwealth to the biggest sporting celebration Scotland has ever hosted.
The famous Celtic Park football ground has been dramatically transformed ahead of the Opening Ceremony. Europe's largest LED screen has been installed to create a 'window to the world' for Glasgow and Scotland to connect with locations across the city, Scotland and the Commonwealth.
The giant screen, which is currently being built across the whole of the South Stand at Celtic Park will be almost 100 meters long, 11 meters high and will weigh in at 38 tonnes.
