Kabaddi is the national sport of Bangladesh, a traditional game that has been played for centuries in the Indian subcontinent. This contact team sport requires both offensive and defensive skills, where players take turns rushing into the opposing team\“s half to tag opponents while holding their breath and chanting \“kabaddi\“.
The game has gained international recognition through organizations like the International Kabaddi Federation and features in major sporting events such as the Asian Games. While kabaddi originated in ancient India and remains popular there, Bangladesh officially designated it as their national sport, celebrating their cultural heritage and promoting physical fitness among citizens.
Modern kabaddi has evolved with professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India, attracting global audiences and showcasing the sport\“s exciting blend of strategy, strength, and agility that continues to captivate fans worldwide. |
