The ad-hoc panel overseeing India’s sports administration has directed the
Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to make a renewed approach to the Olympic
Council of Asia (OCA) regarding a revised deadline. This decision comes
after the IOA’s previous request for an extension on the deadline faced
rejection. The IOA, along with various national sports federations, has
been striving to meet the OCA’s requirements to secure hosting rights for
an upcoming major multi-sport event. The ad-hoc panel’s directive aims to
enable further negotiations and discussions between the IOA and OCA,
fostering the possibility of an extended timeline to fulfill the necessary
criteria. The IOA will now undertake renewed efforts to engage with the OCA
in order to ensure a successful bid and showcase India’s capability as a
host nation for international sporting events.
