{{Main|Concerns and controversies over the 2010 Commonwealth Games}}
 
There were various initial concerns about the games that varied from terrorist threats, sex slavery, delays, labour violations, child labour, racism and corruption allegations. The concerns over infrastructure came to media attention in late September 2010 after media outlets began reporting on "filthy and unlivable conditions" and taking photos of excrement in living quarters at the games village and safety concerns after the collapse of a pedestrian bridge near the main stadium. The footbridge collapsed injuring 27 and seriously injuring five on 21 September 2010. On 22 September 2010, a stadium [[false ceiling]] partly collapsed into the competitors area of the weightlifting venue with no reported injuries.<ref name=Aust-2010_Sept_22>{{cite news| url=http://www.smh.com.au/sport/games-roof-collapse-report-20100922-15mt4.html?autostart=1| title= Games roof collapse - report | last = | first= | date= 2010-09-22 | accessdate= 2010-09-22 |publisher=[[Sydney Morning Herald]]}}</ref>
