The Chairman of the 10th Sanatan World Cup, Subhas Sharma, has addressed several allegations regarding the event scheduled to take place in Sydney next month.
Sharma highlighted that another organization is hosting a separate Sanatan World Cup in Sydney, and he urged all participants and the general public to disregard misinformation suggesting that the event at the Blacktown Spartans Sporting Complex has been canceled.
“This is an unwarranted campaign by the rival organization to undermine a well-organized event,” he stated.
He pointed out that after separating from the original group and promoting their own event since April, they have focused on spreading falsehoods instead of positively promoting their activities.
Sharma reassured participants and the public that the Australian Sanatan Youth & Sport Incorporated, as hosts of the event, has full backing from the Shri Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji.
He also confirmed that the Rams Group of Companies, which is sponsoring the 10th Sanatan World Cup, has received official sanction from Football NSW, through its Southern Districts Soccer Football Association branch to which Australia Fiji Football Inc (AuFFI) is associated.
“We are an affiliated member of AuFFI, and the sanctioning of our tournament is confirmed,” he stated.
Sharma noted that there have been additional unfounded allegations against the Sanatan World Cup board members that do not impact the participants. He affirmed that they plan to take legal measures to address these issues and uphold the integrity of Sanatan values.
