4-5 Indian Athletes Await Japan Visas Ahead of Asian Games Acclimatisation Camp
Ahead of the Asian Games athletics events starting September 23 in Aichi-Nagoya, most of the 74-member Indian athletics team has arrived in Japan for an acclimatisation camp near Tokyo. However, 4-5 athletes are still awaiting visa clearance due to procedural requirements by VFS, the visa outsourcing agency. The Athletics Federation of India is optimistic about resolving the issue soon and may seek government assistance. Delayed athletes might spend less time at the camp or join the team directly in Nagoya.
