NEW DELHI — The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has introduced stricter qualification standards for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, according to a report by The News Mill published on 18 July 2026. The revised criteria raise the threshold for Indian track and field athletes seeking selection for the Glasgow 2026 Games.
The News Mill reported that the AFI's updated entry benchmarks represent a significant tightening compared with previous qualification cycles, as the federation finalises India's athletics squad for the Games in Glasgow, Scotland. The full list of revised marks was not independently confirmed from the source feed and remains unverified pending the federation's published document.
The Commonwealth Games Federation has scheduled Glasgow 2026 as the next edition of the quadrennial event. National federations set their own selection standards within the Games' overall qualifying framework.
