LUCKNOW: Secretary of Handball Federation of India (HFI) Anandeshwar Pandey on Wednesday said that were relieved as the decision of including the men’s team for the 2018 Asian Games was in their favour.
Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Tuesday accepted the request of Handball Federation to include the men’s team for the 2018 Asian games after its legal committee chairman recommended to approve the same.
The handball team had qualified for the Asian Games on the back of the team’s impressive performance in the 18th Asian Men’s Championship that took place in South Korea but was denied entry to the Asian Games official list of IOA earlier.
This prompted HFI to file a petition in the Allahabad High Court objecting the move. (ANI)
