In a major development for Indian wrestling, the Sports Ministry has officially lifted the suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). This decision comes after months of uncertainty following the suspension in December 2023 due to governance and procedural issues. With the ban now revoked, WFI can resume operations, including conducting selection trials for the upcoming Asian Championship in Amman.

For months, Indian wrestlers faced uncertainty due to the administrative deadlock. With the suspension now lifted, they can focus on preparing for major competitions without disruption.

As Indian wrestling moves ahead, all eyes will be on the upcoming Asian Championship, where Indian wrestlers will look to prove their mettle on the international stage.
