Los Angeles Olympics 2028: India has suffered a major setback before the Los Angeles Olympics-2028, as the Indian men's flag football team will not be able to participate in the upcoming Flag Football World Championship. This tournament is going to be held in Finland from 27 to 30 August. This tournament is considered very important in terms of the Olympics.
Team India could not get visa
It is being said in media reports that Team India could not get visa to participate in this tournament, due to which it will not be able to go to Finland to play in this tournament. Dr. Sandeep Chaudhary, CEO of American Football Federation of India has also confirmed this.
This game will be played for the first time in the next Olympics
Flag football has been included in the Los Angeles Olympics 2028 for the first time. Recently this game has become quite popular. This game is considered very good in terms of teamwork, strategy and skill. For this, teams from all over the world are trying to get Olympic quota.
India suffered a setback for the second time in a row
The Indian team participated in the 2021 World Championship. India is ranked 20th in this tournament held in Israel. In 2023, the Indian team could not qualify for this championship and this time the team had to stay out of the tournament due to visa related problems.
What did the CEO say?
American Football Federation of India CEO Sandeep Chaudhary said that it is not just a matter of visa. There were other technical issues from the organizers' side, which we could not resolve on time. There were many technical flaws from our side as well. We do not want to blame anyone else. Everyone has tried to help us. Now the team's morale is definitely down because we have worked hard but we are not getting visas. We were practicing, but things were out of our control. This was the first important tournament to prepare for the 2028 Olympics, where we could show our talent.
