The Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry has invited public and stakeholder feedback on the draft National Code Against Age Fraud in Sports (NCAAFS) 2025, aimed at curbing age fraud, protecting genuine athletes, and ensuring fair competition. The proposed code introduces strict penalties for falsifying age records and a centralized verification system. Key measures include mandatory age verification, a national database, QR-enabled ID cards, and medical exams for discrepancies. Stakeholders and the general public can submit their suggestions to the Ministry by the 31st of this month at [email protected].
