Wrestling Federation Cup to be held in Varanasi from April 24

The Federation Cup wrestling tournament will be held in Varanasi from April 24 to 26.

According to a notification from the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), 15 states participating in the Pune National championships, which was conducted by the WFI and did not have the Sports Ministry’s approval, will be eligible to send entries in all three styles -- freestyle, Greco Roman and women.

However, the WFI has given wild card entries to 10 units, including several non-traditional states, apparently to include the wrestlers who competed in the Jaipur Nationals conducted by the Indian Olympic Association appointed ad-hoc committee, in select categories.
