UWW threatens to suspend WFI due to political interferences
The New Indian Express
|January 25, 2025
ONCE again the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) might get suspended by the international governing body, United World Wrestling (UWW) throwing the sport into further disarray in the country.
The reason this time could be interference by the public and political authorities with the international affairs of the WFI.
It should be noted here that despite the UWW's recognition, the federation remains suspended by the sports ministry. Through an order dated December 24, 2023, the ministry had suspended the WFI and asked the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to form an adhoc committee to run the dayto-day affairs of the national sport federation. A case is pending in the court in this regard.
However, the suspension has been hurting the WFI badly with renowned wrestlers from Indian Railways not taking part in tournaments being organised by it.
