जंग ने तोड़ा भारत का वर्ल्ड कप सपना! अमेरिका-ईरान तनाव के बीच हुआ ऐसा, जानें पूरा मामला – israel US vs iran tension impact india boxing team youth world cup tspok
On one hand, the Indian cricket team, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, is just one win away from the T20 World Cup trophy, while on the other hand, the Indian boxing team’s dream of winning the World Cup has been shattered.
In fact, the Indian junior boxing team was forced to withdraw from the Youth World Cup. The reason for this is being said to be the war-like situation in West Asia and the logistics problems arising from it.
According to the report of ‘Times of India’, the Indian junior boxing team of 10 members was going to participate in the World Boxing (WB) sanctioned Youth World Cup to be held in Budva city of Montenegro from March 3 to 11. But due to non-receipt of necessary documents on time, the team could not reach the tournament.
Passports were sent to UAE
Montenegro does not have an embassy in India. For this reason, the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) had applied for the visa process of the players through the Montenegrin Embassy in UAE. According to sources, it was necessary to submit physical passport for visa stamping. Therefore, the passports of all the players in the team, including five boys and five girls, were sent to UAE. Usually, after the visa is stamped, the passports are sent back within two to three days.

Passports did not arrive on time due to war
However, this time the circumstances were different. Due to the sudden increase in tension and war in the Middle East, the passports could not be sent to India on time. According to sources, the visas had already been confirmed through email, but the physical passports could not reach India. For this reason the Indian team could not leave for Montenegro and had to withdraw from the tournament.
Passports were submitted on 20th February
According to the report, the players’ passports were submitted for visa stamping on February 20 and the team’s flight tickets were kept on standby. BFI remained in constant touch with the authorities of Montenegro and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India in this entire matter, but the passports could not be returned on time. In this way, the dream of India’s 10-member youth boxing team of playing the World Cup remained unfulfilled.
