Bihar to host Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025

New Delhi, Apr 15 (UNI) The Sports Authority of India (SAI) has confirmed that the Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025 will take place at Rajgir in Bihar, from June 1 to 10.
This will be the second time Bihar will host the prestigious tournament, with the first edition held in 2012 at the Patliputra Sports Complex in Patna.
Kabaddi, one of the oldest and most traditional Indian sports, has a rich history of over 4000 years. The sport was showcased as an exhibition event at the Berlin 1936 Olympics, marking a significant moment in its global recognition.
The Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025 will be organised by the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) in collaboration with the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI). A total of 14 teams, including participants from Africa and Latin America, will compete in this 10-day tournament. The confirmed teams include India, Iran, Bangladesh, Netherlands, Japan, Poland, Uganda, Kenya, Hungary, Thailand, Nepal, Germany, and Argentina.
The inaugural Women's Kabaddi World Cup saw 16 teams compete, with 31 matches played over four days. The tournament followed a round-robin format before the knockout stage, and the format for the upcoming 2025 edition is yet to be confirmed.
India, the defending champions, will be looking to retain their title after defeating Iran 25-19 in the final of the inaugural edition. Japan and Thailand shared the third position after both lost in the semifinals.
India women’s kabaddi team last showcased their dominance at the Asian Women's Kabaddi Championship 2025 in Tehran in March. Team India triumphed over Iran 32-25 in the final, clinching their fifth continental championship title.
The Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is expected to be a thrilling spectacle, with teams from across the globe battling it out for the coveted title.
