Hey Everyone,

We are the Indian Football Community. Most of us will never wear the official kit, but the Tricolor belongs to us just as much as it belongs to the champions competing right now at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games.

Right now, our athletes are facing unacceptable logistical chaos from the organizing committee, and we cannot stay silent.

The Grievances:

• Stranded & Double-Booked: Indian athletes faced 10-hour airport delays due to missing accreditation, only to find their assigned rooms already occupied by other nations.
• Punishing Schedules: PV Sindhu was forced to play three matches in an 18-hour window, finishing at 3:00 AM only to play again at 8:30 AM.
• Locked Kitchens: Athletes returning past midnight from delayed events found hotel dining halls completely closed, leaving them without post-match meals.
• Faulty Equipment: Defective electronic targets in the shooting arenas registered valid Indian shots as complete "zeros."

Our Stance:

We love and respect Japan and its people. This isn't about hate - it is about accountability. If this level of mismanagement happened anywhere else in the world, the global media backlash would be relentless.

Our athletes sweat blood for our country's pride. The absolute least they deserve is a bed that fits, proper food, and a fair schedule.

Let's use our collective voice to demand better.

Respect the Host. Demand Dignity for Team India. 🇮🇳
