AIFF Should Bear The Cost To Send Football Teams To Asiad If Govt Agrees: Bhaichung

By IANS News July 21, 2023 • 09:43 AM View: 332

Bhaichung Bhutia: In a big blow to the men's and women's national football teams, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has made it clear that it will not change its criteria for allowing the teams to compete in the upcoming Asian Games. As a result, Indian football teams will not take part in the marquee event to be held in Hangzou, China, from September 23 to October 8.

The reason is failure to meet the Sports Ministry's criteria for team games of being ranked among the Top 8 sides in Asia. While the men's team is presently ranked 18th, the women's team is placed 11th.
