WFI Officials To Meet CGF CEO In Push To Include Wrestling In 2026 Commonwealth Games
The Wrestling Federation: The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) officials, led by president Sanjay Singh, are set to meet Katie Sadleir, CEO of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), on Tuesday in Delhi to discuss the reinstatement of wrestling in the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Wrestling, one of India’s most successful sports in the Commonwealth Games, was surprisingly dropped from the list of sports for the next edition, leaving grapplers worldwide in uncertainty.
India, the second-most successful wrestling nation in CWG history with 114 medals (49 gold, 39 silver, and 26 bronze), sees this move as a significant blow, especially after its wrestlers delivered 12 medals, including six gold, in the 2022 edition of the Games in Birmingham.
