Wrestlers set to miss another Ranking Series

|February 14, 2025
THE fight between the sports ministry and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is affecting the wrestlers as well.
After missing out on an opportunity to compete at the first Ranking Series of the year in Zagreb, Croatia, Indian wrestlers may be forced to miss the second one scheduled in Tirana, Albania from February 26 to March 2.
The WFI, which remains suspended by the sports ministry since December 2023 but is recognised by the international body, has sent a proposal to the Sports Authority of India (SAI) in this regard but has not received the sanction yet. The SAI had not given the nod for the Zagreb event as well. "We haven't received sanction order yet for the Muhamet Malo Ranking Series in Albania," Sanjay Kumar Singh, the WFI president, told this daily.
