New AFI directives on meets participation
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has mandated athletes compete in at least three competitions in 2026 to qualify for the Inter-State meet, the final Asian Games selection trials. This move aims to prevent athletes suspected of doping from participating solely in trials. However, concerns are raised about the high entry fees impacting young athletes' participation.
