Controversy
[edit | edit source]Despite the Kosovo Boxing Federation being a full member of the AIBA,[6] Indian authorities refused to grant visas to competitors from Kosovo, thus preventing them from participating in the event.[7] Athletes from Kosovo were previously denied entry to India in 2017 for the Youth Women's World Championships.[8]
