The '''1986 Commonwealth Games''' were held in [[Edinburgh]], Scotland, between 24 July and 2 August 1986. This was the second Commonwealth Games to be held in Edinburgh. This event served as a qualifying event for the [[1988 Summer Olympics]] in [[Seoul]] for the events that was contested at the [[Olympic Games]]. Thirty two of the eligible fifty nine countries (largely African, Asian and Caribbean states) boycotted the event because of the [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcher]] government's policy of keeping Britain's sporting links with [[apartheid South Africa]].

The Games were commemorated on the UK’s first-ever £2 circulating coin, which showed a Scottish thistle upon the St. Andrew’s saltire design on the reverse side of the coin.

==Organisation ==

Unlike the 1970 Games in Edinburgh, which were popular and successful, the 1986 Games are ill-famed for the wide political boycott connected with them and the resulting financial mismanagement.<ref name="theguardian">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jul/22/commonwealth-games-1986-robert-maxwell|title=The forgotten story of … Robert Maxwell’s 1986 Commonwealth Games &#124; Sport &#124; theguardian.com|work=The Guardian|access-date=28 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170407091522/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jul/22/commonwealth-games-1986-robert-maxwell|archive-date=7 April 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Controversies ==

In addition to the boycott, further controversy arose when it was revealed that through this much-reduced participation and the resultant decline in anticipated broadcasting and sponsorship revenues, the Organising Committee was facing a big financial black hole. The boycott ended any prospect of securing emergency government assistance. Businessman [[Robert Maxwell]] stepped in to offer funding, taking over as chairman; but although he promised to invest £2m, his contribution was just £250,000. On a budget of £14m, the Games opened with a deficit of £3m, which later grew to £4.3m, and instead of putting enough money into the event to save it, the new chairman of the Games asked creditors to forgo half the payment due to them to keep the event out of liquidation. The debt was finally paid off in 1989, with the city of Edinburgh losing approximately £500,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=418&id=715212007 |title=Glasgow makes final call for 2014 Games - Athletics - Scotsman.com |publisher=News.scotsman.com |date=9 May 2007 |access-date=9 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070517171818/http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=418&id=715212007 |archive-date=17 May 2007 |url-status=live  }}</ref>

Several athletes were excluded because they breached the amateurism rules, most notably lawn bowlers [[Phil Skoglund]] from New Zealand and [[Willie Wood (bowler)|Willie Wood]] from Scotland, both of whom have competed in subsequent Games.

==Participating teams==

Due to the boycott only 27 teams from across the Commonwealth were represented at the 1986 Games.

==Boycott==

[[File:1986 Commonwealth Games (Edinburgh) boycotting countries (red).png|thumb|300px|1986 Commonwealth Games boycotting countries dark red]]

Thirty two of the eligible fifty nine countries (largely African, Asian and Caribbean states) boycotted the event because of the [[Margaret Thatcher|Thatcher]] government's policy of keeping Britain's sporting links with [[apartheid South Africa]] in preference to participating in the general sporting boycott of that country and the [[American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics]] in [[Moscow]] in protest of the [[Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]]. Consequently, Edinburgh 1986 witnessed the lowest turnout since Auckland 1950.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/commonwealth-games/2014/16048-scottish-independence-referendum-will-increase-interest-in-glasgow-2014-it-is-claimed |title=Scottish independence referendum will increase interest in Glasgow 2014, it is claimed &#124; Glasgow 2014 |publisher=insidethegames.biz |date=29 February 2012 |access-date=9 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120811024929/http://insidethegames.biz/commonwealth-games/2014/16048-scottish-independence-referendum-will-increase-interest-in-glasgow-2014-it-is-claimed |archive-date=11 August 2012 |url-status=live  }}</ref> Bermuda was a particularly late withdrawal, as its athletes had appeared in the opening ceremony and in the opening day of competition before the Bermuda Olympic Association decided to formally withdraw.<ref name="Boycott">Fraser, Graham (25 April 2014).
