The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has faced provisional suspension by the global governing body, United World Wrestling (UWW), due to allegations of harassment, irregularities, and delayed elections. Consequently, Indian wrestlers won’t be allowed to compete under the national flag in international events. Prominent athletes accused the former WFI president of misconduct, prompting investigations and the postponement of elections. The suspension underlines the need for transparent and timely elections to restore the wrestlers’ right to compete and protect the sport’s reputation. Resolving internal conflicts is crucial to lift the suspension and regain international recognition for Indian wrestling.
