IOA Athletes Commission To Meet Today

The in-person meeting, first after CEO's ratification, aims to restore normalcy in functioning of Indian Olympic body

Days after the Executive Committee of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) ratified the appointment of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Athletes Commission will be meeting in New Delhi on Thursday. Majority of the members are expected to attend the meeting, the first after the CEO's ratification. The Athletes Commission is one of the vital cogs in the functioning of a National Olympic Committee (NOC). The IOA too is in a rebuilding process and after the EC meeting to ratify CEO appointment later last month, this will be another step towards normalisation. Raghuram Iyer, the IOA CEO, as powers vested on him by the new IOA constitution, has already called for a Special General Meeting (SGM) to clear the accounts by passing the audits of 2023-24. The Athletes Commission meeting is another important pit-stop before the SGM.
