You can contact the Organizing Committee at olympiad@aicf.in, and they also have a dedicated support line for visa enquiries: visa@aicf.in.

A call centre will be operating two months before the Olympiad, just after the closing of the registration system, at +91-8100003030.

The working hours for this hotline will be from 10:00 to 18:00 (GMT +5:30), and then, during the Olympiad, it will be operational 24/7. However, the Organizers request that federations use the call centre only in case of strict necessity or emergencies. Otherwise, the preferred way to contact the organizers will still be the email indicated above.

Looking forward to seeing you in Chennai,
