Igor Stimac requests PM Modi to intervene after Indian football team fails to get green signal for Asian Games
Indian football team head coach Igor Stimac said that the reasons to not send the team for the Asian Games are “unjust”
The Indian football team is expected to miss the Sports Ministry's criteria to be included in the contingent that will represent the country at the 2022 Asian Games in Huangzhou, China. The ministry had said earlier that when it came to team events, only sides ranking in the top eight of the continental rankings of their respective sports will be allowed to travel for the Asiad. India are only ranked 18th in Asia and with the Games starting in late September, it is impossible for them to jump into the top eight.
