The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has started a new domestic series of 16 regional meets this year in different parts of the country to provide a competitive environment to local athletes.
Any athlete who has a valid AFI UID can participate in the competition by achieving the qualification standard and representing their state, provided their entries are sent.
The series will start at Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on April 4th and end with the 16th stage in September at ABG Foundation in Bengaluru, with stops in various states, including Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Haryana, and others.
In a year where every athlete is aiming to earn that qualifying mark for the Asian and Commonwealth Games, these meets will help them to attain these marks without much travelling.
The star long jumper Murali Sreeshankar is expected to participate in the inaugural Indian Open Series and open his outdoor season after missing the Indian Open Jumps due to illness.
