Everything you need to know about Kabaddi World Cup, 2016. Indian squad and its captain announced


Kabaddi World Cup, 2016


If I talk about five years back from now, in India, Kabaddi was not that popular sport as it is now. People just knew that there is an Indian Kabaddi Team, who is grabbing medals at international stage. But rarely anyone saw those matches. People didn’t even know who the players were. 



But thanks to Pro Kabaddi League, which was inaugurated in 2014. This tournament was the turning point for Kabaddi as a sport and for its players. The sport gradually became too popular and was also successful in increasing the sports fan base in India.


On 7th October, 2016 Kabaddi World Cup, organised by International Kabaddi Federation (IKF), will kick off. The federation can expect huge number of fans cheering for the teams. The duration of the World Cup would be from 7th October to 22nd October. Matches would take place at TransStadia, Ahmedabad, a world class pitch.



There will be 12 world class teams participating in the World Cup, which are, USA, England, India, Australia, Iran, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, South Korea, Japan, Argentina and
Kenya. India is participating for the 3rd time in this World cup and is one of the most experienced team in the tournament.


These 12 teams will be divided into 2 pools of 6 teams each. Therefore India can expect a tough competition against the teams in its pool, having, Bangladesh, England, Australia, South Korea and Argentina.


The Indian Kabaddi Team for the World Cup was announced on 20th September, 2016 by Dr. Mrs. Mridul Bhadauria, President of Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI). The President (AKFI) believes that they have selected the best players of the world, from India. She also says that the current Indian Kabaddi team is a Dream Team for the nation, because it contains the best players from all over the India. Anup Kumar has been selected as the captain, to lead the team in the World Cup.


The jersey of Team India was also unveiled on 20th September by the Iconic former Indian Cricketer and World Cup winning captain, Mr. Kapil Dev.


India will face South Korea on the first day of the World Cup, i.e, 7th October, 8:00 pm. As an Indian it’s my request to all my other fellow Indians to support and cheer for Team India as much as you can.

 We believe in Team India and we believe they will perform their best.

Thank You for your time.
