India Will Host Women’s World Cup Next Year | Biden News

India will host the 2023 Women’s World Boxing Championships in New Delhi, two years after the country was stripped of the right to host the men’s event due to non-payment of required fees to the world governing body. India has never hosted the men’s World Cup but it will be the third time that the senior women’s tournament will be held in the country after hosting the tournament in 2006 and 2018 in New Delhi.

“We have won the right to host the Women’s World Cup and we are looking to host the tournament in the end of March and the first week of April,” Boxing Federation of India (BFI) Secretary Hemanta Kalita said.

The president of the International Boxing Association (IBA) Umar Kremlev is on his first visit to the country and the date of the tournament will be finalized during the visit.

Kalita added that “the dates of the meeting have not yet been finalized. We will sit with the IBA president and reach a decision during his trip.” There is a possibility of holding the tournament at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

The right to host the event in India comes as a major development as the BFI lost the 2021 hosting rights to Serbia after defaulting on the hosting fee, prompting the World Boxing Federation, which commonly known as (AIBA), has ended. pact.

In the last edition of the women’s competition held in Turkey, India brought back three medals including Nikhat Zareen’s gold in the fly category.

Recently, Kremlev announced that the men’s World Cup, which will be held in Tashkent next year in May, will receive a prize that will double from the previous edition.

It remains to be seen whether the international commission has announced this to the women’s conference. PTI APA A AT
