Kabaddi is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players. It is one of the traditional games of South Asia. In this game, a raider enters the opposing half of the court to touch defenders and attempt to return within 30 seconds without being tackled.
Kabaddi is governed internationally by the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) and is officially featured in major multi-sport events, including the Asian Games, Asian Youth Games, and other continental championships. Over the years, the sport has modernized through professional leagues, standardized rules, advanced training methods, and global media coverage.
Beyond competition, Kabaddi promotes:
Physical fitness and discipline
Teamwork and strategic thinking
Youth development and community engagement
Cultural heritage and international unity
Today, Kabaddi is played across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, with growing participation in countries like the Kingdom of Bahrain, where the sport has gained recognition through major international events such as the 3rd Asian Youth Games.
Kabaddi continues to expand its global footprint, inspiring new generations of athletes and strengthening cross-cultural sporting ties worldwide.
