Sports Minister Mandaviya meets major NSFs representatives to discuss 2028 LA Olympics preparations

Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday met the representatives of major National Sports Federations (NSF) and discussed India’s preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The invitation to this meeting was extended last week to the sports administrators.

“Today held a meeting with all the major National Sports Federations of the country and discussed in detail the preparations for the 2028 Olympics. With the mantra of good governance of Prime Minister Shri @NarendraModi Ji, we have to strengthen the country in the field of sports and promote talent,” Mandaviya said on X, formerly called Twitter.

“India’s sports infrastructure and funding are at par with the countries performing well on the global stage. Winning medals in the Olympics is not a one-year or six-month job. It requires preparation well in advance,” the Sports Minister said at the Mission Olympic Cell meeting that focused on the plans of preparation for the Los Angeles Games in 2028.

The meeting was held in the backdrop of the tussle between the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha and the sports ministry over the affiliation of two different Indian Golf Union bodies.
