I guess AIFF is very keen on playing Asian Games. But the problem is, indian olympic association do not think that we are capable enough in football to represent our nation in the games. Hence they have not granted the permission
34 new names have been added today in India contingent with new team for Dragonboat ( ) and Taekawando. Along with this, many new officers are going. Some athletes such as Saina, Sindhu, Chopra, Dutee are taking their personal staff which are not member of Sports association, just personal private staff but being included in the squad.
Bizarre to see that sending Football team was waste of taxpayer money but personal staff, dozens of "managers" in rubbish disciplines like dragonboat and martial art events are going.
After suspension of Sanjita Chanu due to banned substance, Back injury to Mirabai Chanu is another setback for India in weightlifting. We are sending only 1 women and 3 Men weightlifters to asian games.
This is hilarious. IOA has accused Sports Ministry of adding 4 names without any accredition or permission from IOA. Total number of players and officials is way past 800 now.
