Wrestling Federation of India announces selection trials for Asian Championships

After regaining its National Sports Federation status, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has announced selection trials for the upcoming Asian Championships.

This marks the first proper trial under the new WFI administration's oversight since its suspension, which occurred three days after its election on December 21, 2023, to pick new office-bearers.

During its suspension, the WFI was unable to select national teams as protesting wrestlers had legally challenged the federation's authority, questioning its legitimacy following their protest against former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
The federation's suspension has been lifted after it implemented the required changes, including relocating its office from Brij Bhushan's premises.
A WFI circular states that weigh-ins for all divisions - men's freestyle, women's freestyle and Greco Roman - will occur on the trial day, with a 2kg weight relaxation for all participants.
