NSFs to get SAI facilities for free to conduct National, Intl. events

The National Sports Federations (NSFs) in the country can now use the facilities at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) free of cost to conduct National and International Tournaments.

The Sports Authority of India (SAI) will not only waive off the rentals for the NSFs but will also bear the overhead costs during the National and International Tournaments.

Talking about the initiative, Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju said that the move will help Federations in hosting more Tournaments.

He also said, “we want to have as many sporting events of the highest competitive level in the country as possible to provide exposure to our athletes to compete among themselves and with international athletes. We are keen to host events where athletes from various countries compete in India so that our athletes get a chance to gauge their own sporting merit.”
