Indian Football Team denied Asian Games 2022 entry

A new revelation indicates that the Indian football Team will not compete in the 2022 Asian Games. This will be Sunil Chhetri & co’s second consecutive absence from the renowned competition.

Only those sports teams having a rating up to ninth among participating Asian nations in the previous year would be taken into consideration for participation, according to the Sports Ministry. Sadly, the Indian football squad does not satisfy this requirement.

The squad doesn’t achieve the necessary rating because it is now placed 18th among countries in the Asian Football Confederation. On social media, this choice has incited rage among fervent followers.

Fans have vented their fury and sadness on social media in response to the announcement. Prior to the AFC Asian Cup 2023, they have been aggressively lobbying for the Blue Tigers to be granted entry.

Indian football fans, we all are upset with the Sports Ministry's decision to not allow our team to play in the Asian Games. We demand that the ministry reverse its decision.

Let them play. Let them grow 🇮🇳#IndianFootball #IndianFootballForAsianGames pic.twitter.com/od3j0KOtL6

It's not about medals. It's not about Indian Football. We are eligible to play Asian Games and we must.

The Government must send Indian Men and Women's Football Teams to Asian Games 2023. #IndianFootball #IndianFootballForAsianGames pic.twitter.com/WgqnO49oSJ

Football is the most competitive global sport and we won't improve by hiding from top teams in fear of losing. Don't judge their merit without letting them play @kalyanchaubey @ianuragthakur
