India Withdraws From World Wrestling Championship Amidst WFI-Ministry Conflict
Senior World Wrestling Championship: The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has pulled out the Indian team from the upcoming Senior World Wrestling Championship scheduled to be held in Tirana, Albania, from October 28. The withdrawal was prompted by an ongoing dispute with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports (MYAS), with the WFI accusing the ministry of interfering in its autonomy, according to a letter sent to United World Wrestling (UWW), the global governing body for the sport.
"We won't be able to send our team because of the suspension that was imposed by the ministry last year. Also, there are a few Contempt of Court cases against WFI that have been challenged in Supreme Court," a source close to WFI told IANS.
The core issue lies in the ongoing suspension of the WFI by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The suspension was first imposed on December 24, 2023, following the election of new office-bearers in the federation. Since then, the WFI has been in a state of limbo.
