Como resultado directo de la suspensión, los equipos indios de kabaddi masculino y femenino se perderán el Campeonato Mundial Senior de Playa Kabaddi inaugural que se celebrará en Irán en septiembre.
In a significant setback for Indian kabaddi, the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) has suspended the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI), barring the country from participating in key international tournaments. The decision comes as a result of prolonged administrative issues within the AKFI, where a court-appointed administrator, Justice SP Garg, has been overseeing the organisation for the past five years, rather than an elected body, which violates IKF rules.
The IKF president, Vinod Tiwari, confirmed the suspension and highlighted that India’s participation in major upcoming events is now in jeopardy. “Yes, the AKFI is suspended, and they will remain suspended if they don’t appoint elected representatives to run the body,” Tiwari stated as per the Bridge.
India to Miss World Beach Kabaddi Championship
As a direct consequence of the suspension, the Indian men’s and women’s kabaddi teams will miss the inaugural Senior World Beach Kabaddi Championship, scheduled to be held in Iran in September. Additionally, they will not be allowed to compete in the sixth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Thailand in November. This is a severe blow for a country that has long been a global leader in the sport.
In a letter to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), the IKF expressed concerns about the lack of clarity regarding AKFI’s leadership, further complicating India’s chances of resolving the issue quickly. “Indian team will not be allowed to compete… due to the lack of clarity on who is running AKFI,” the communication read.
