    SAI National Centres Of Excellence Continue To Drive India’s Olympic Medal Aspirations

    By IANS News March 16, 2026 • 17:42 PM View: 1
    Fazza International Para Athletics Grand: As India steadily advances in its pursuit of hosting the 2036 Olympics, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) is expanding its athlete development system to boost the country's medal prospects in upcoming major events.

    At National Centres of Excellence (NCOEs) and many SAI Training Centres (STCs), a new wave of athletes is advancing from grassroots programs to international podiums. As the number of these centres, academies, and institutions continues to grow, developing future champions becomes an ongoing and streamlined process.

    Launched in 2019, the NCOE model was designed as an ‘athlete-centric, coach-driven’ high-performance ecosystem, integrating Sports Science, High-Performance Directors, and an Athlete Management System into daily training routines. NCOEs accommodate over 4,000 athletes, representing the top tier of a broader pyramid that also includes STCs, which have nearly 4,800 trainees.
