UWW Suspends Wrestling Federation Of India For Delaying Elections: Reports

By IANS News August 24, 2023 • 19:45 PM View: 1105

The United World Wrestling: The United World Wrestling (UWW) has decided to suspend the membership of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) indefinitely, as per the reports.

This action comes as a result of the WFI's inability to hold elections as required. The development means Indian wrestlers will have to compete as 'neutral athletes' at the Olympic-qualifying World Championships.
