National-level Kabaddi tournaments location
Kabaddi is a combative sport in which each side has seven players. The main goal of the game is to score points by raiding the opponent’s court and touching as many defensive players as possible in a single breath. The game lasts 40 minutes, with a 5-minute intermission between halves.
The game has been played in various forms since prehistoric times. Since 1930, the modern Kabaddi game has been popular in India and other parts of South Asia. In 1950, the All India Kabaddi Federation was established to oversee the game’s promotion. In 1952, the Senior National Championship was established.
The Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) was formed in 1972. It is affiliated with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and aims to popularise the game in India and neighbouring Asian countries.
