Govt Extends Strong Support To AIFF Over Asia Cup 2031 Bid, Says Sports Min Mansukh Mandaviya
Sports Min Mansukh Mandaviya: The All-India Football Federation (AIFF) has formally submitted a bid to host the AFC Asian Cup 2031, a move that would bring the football royalty of the continent to India. India’s bid to bring the AFC Asian Cup 2031 to the subcontinent was recognised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in its Annual General Body meeting at the 35th AFC Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Saturday.
Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya, showed his support for the enterprise on hearing of India’s bid. He said, “Hosting major sporting events has a profound and lasting impact on a nation’s sports ecosystem and infrastructure.
"Sports can serve as a powerful testimony of India’s rising global stature. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading India’s visionary bid to host the 2036 Olympics. There is also growing momentum behind India’s aspiration to host the Commonwealth Games once again.”
