'Scotland To Host Only 10 Games, We've Requested To Keep Wrestling In 2026 CWG', Says WFI Chief

By IANS News September 17, 2024 • 14:14 PM View: 126

Commonwealth Games Federation: Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Sanjay Singh has officially requested the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), CEO, Katie Sadleir, to include wrestling in the 2026 edition of the Games in a meeting here on Tuesday.

"We have requested the CGF CEO to include wrestling in the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Chances are 50:50. Scotland has suggested that they will host only 10 games. So let's hope for the best," Sanjay Singh told IANS.

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.
