The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has moved the Supreme Court of India challenging the Delhi High Court's order allowing Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in the selection trials for the Asian Games 2026.

On May 22, a division bench of the high court had given its nod to the participation of Phogat in the upcoming trials for the Asian Games, saying the WFI's selection policy was exclusionary for the lack of discretion to consider an iconic player like her, who is returning from a maternity break.
