March 18, New Delhi – An organization operating under the name ‘Youth Khelo India Federation’ and claiming affiliation with the Government of India, Khelo India, and the Indian Olympic Association is a fake.
The organization is also requesting payments from athletes, demanding an entry fee of $825 per person for participation in the 2026 International Games in Thailand.
Neither the organization nor the tournament is recognized or affiliated with the Sports Authority of India or any sports body.
Secondly, the Sports Authority of India does not authorize any private entity to collect participation fees from athletes for international events in this manner.
