New Delhi, July 21 (Ians) Debarring the senior men’s and women’s football teams from taking part in the upcoming Asian Games to be held in Hangzou, China, from September 23 to October 8, has become a subject of discussion among football lovers in India.
The reason, as per the Indian Olympic Association (Ioa), is failure to meet the Sports Ministry’s criteria for team games of being ranked among the Top 8 sides in Asia. While the men’s team is presently ranked 18th, the women’s team is placed 11th.
Former India goalkeeper Subrata Paul, who represented the Blue Tigers in 67 matches besides playing for top clubs like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, among others, too expressed his displeasure over Indian football teams not competing in the prestigious event.

New Delhi, June 7 (Ians) Protesting wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik arrived at the residence of Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Wednesday. Sakshi came along with her husband Satyawart Kadian, an Arjuna awardee. Olympian Vinesh Phogat was missing though her husband Somveer Rathi was seen entering the minister’s residence.
The protesting wrestlers have been invited by the government for the second time days after they met Home Minister Amit Shah.
In January, too, the wrestlers met Anurag Thakur at his residence and called off their protest after a committee was formed. At that time, former wrestler and Bjp leader Babita Phogat played the mediator’s role.
Earlier, talking to Ians on Wednesday, Sakshi Malik said, “We will keep everything open. We won’t take any decision behind closed doors. We will discuss the proposal given by the government with our seniors and supporters and only when everyone gives...

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may look invincible on screen, but when Olympic medallist Vijender Singh stepped in the frame with his mighty blows, then Bhai too felt the impact up close.
Speaking on the sidelines of the trailer launch of the upcoming film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, Vijender told the media, “I learnt a lot from Salman bhai about work ethics and shot mein kaise maarna hai (how to hit people in action shots).”
It made Salman interject: “Maine sikhaya kaise nahin maarna hai (I taught him how not to hit!). Ab woh Vijender hain, Olympic winner hain, toh ab main unke saamne react nahi kar sakta par blows lag lag ke muscle ka paalak ho chuka tha.”
The first Indian boxer to win an individual medal in an Olympics (bronze at Beijing 2008), as well as a Padma Shri and Arjuna awardee, Vijender Singh from Bhiwani, Haryana, is...

New Delhi, Sep 8 (Ians) All India Football Federation president Kalyan Chaubey announced his plans to expand women’s football, and introduce a new age-group league to get the best talents at a young age.
“We are shortly introducing an under-17 women’s league in India in association with the Sports Authority of India,” Chaubey said during a media interaction in Kolkata on Thursday.
Hinting that he would like to maintain a complete gender equality in Indian football, the Aiff president said the federation has the plan to introduce a minimum salary cap for the players in the Indian Women’s League (Iwl).
“It is not right that honorariums of footballers should have huge differences at men’s and women’s levels. All efforts should be made to restore a balance,” Chaubey said.
