IOC Resumes Funding to India After Resolving Governance Issues | Sports-Games
The International Olympic Committee resumed funding after India implemented the National Sports Governance Act and resolved internal disputes, supporting athlete development with Rs 15 crore annually.
- On September 3, 2025, the International Olympic Committee resumed its funding to India through the Olympic Solidarity Programme after months of suspension due to internal disputes in the Indian Olympic Association.
- The suspension resulted from extended internal conflicts and the inability to appoint a Chief Executive Officer, which was ultimately resolved after a ceasefire on July 24 between IOA President P.T. Usha and the dissenting members of the Executive Council.
- Important actions included the official confirmation of Raghuram Iyer as IOA CEO on July 24 and the Government of India's enactment of legislation aimed at enhancing the framework for sports administration.
- The IOC commended these measures for strengthening India's sporting ecosystem and supporting athletes at all levels, noting that reinstated funding will assist training and participation in major competitions.
- This renewed partnership signals improved governance and commitment from India to uphold Olympic standards, with expectations rising for stronger athlete development and international collaboration.
