Indian football is going through the best of what can be called a golden age. Now news is coming out in the form of a setback for India, which is advancing by organizing trainings and competitions in anticipation of the Asian Games. The ‘Times of India’ reported that the Indian men’s football team may miss the Asian Games for the second time in a row due to technical and legal issues.
Sources say the Indian football team may not get the chance to play in the Asian Games for the second time in a row due to non-compliance with the sports ministry’s norms. According to a letter sent to the Sports Ministry, the Indian Olympic Association and the National Sports Federation, teams in various events should be sent to the Games only if they are among the top 8 teams in Asia.
India is currently ranked 18th among the countries under the Asian Football Federation. The women’s team is ranked 10th. As a result, not only the men’s team but also the women’s team will not be able to play in the Asian Games this time. Meanwhile, the AIFF will appeal to the Sports Ministry seeking relaxation of the rules. The Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou, China in September this year. The Indian football team has been performing well this year as they have won two trophies in a row. First, India won the Intercontinental Cup and then the SAF Championship.
