Delhi High Court Seeks WFI Response on Vinesh Phogat's Participation in 2026 Trials
The Delhi High Court has asked the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to clarify whether wrestler Vinesh Phogat can participate in the selection trials for the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championship scheduled for September 14. Phogat has challenged WFI's eligibility criteria, arguing her maternity break should not exclude her from trials. She also seeks a stay on disciplinary proceedings against her related to alleged misconduct during the 2026 Asian Games trials. The court will hear the matter further on Thursday.
