'WFI Must Learn From BCCI': Technical Glitches, Poor Officiating Mar Asian Games Wrestling Trials
The Asian Games: The Asian Games wrestling trials at Delhi’s IG Stadium were meant to showcase India’s best women wrestlers fighting for a place on the national team. Instead, the event exposed glaring shortcomings in administration, technology and officiating, prompting many in the wrestling fraternity to say that the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) needs to take a leaf out of the BCCI’s playbook.
Athletes and former wrestlers were left frustrated by repeated technical glitches, frequent stoppages and inconsistent refereeing that disrupted several key bouts. The consensus among many was clear: Indian wrestling deserves the same level of professionalism that has transformed Indian cricket.
“The WFI has a lot to learn from the BCCI,” said a former wrestler. “Cricket run professionally. They invest in technology, train officials and ensure events run smoothly. In wrestling, too often it feels like ‘sab kuch bas chal raha hai’.”
