Indian Wrestling Team Faces Visa Delays Ahead of U23 World Championships in Las Vegas
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is preparing a new squad for the U23 World Championships in Las Vegas starting October 12, featuring fresh athletes selected through national trials. While all men's freestyle wrestlers have received US visas, visa rejections for several Greco-Roman and women wrestlers, mainly due to age and employment status, have delayed their participation. The WFI is hopeful the US Embassy will reconsider and issue visas in time for the competitions scheduled through October 18.
