Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport that originated in ancient India and remains immensely popular throughout South Asia. While kabaddi has gained international recognition through events like the Asian Games and World Cup, it is not currently an Olympic sport.
The Pro Kabaddi League in India has significantly boosted the sport\“s global profile since its launch in 2014. This professional league features teams from various Indian cities and has attracted substantial sponsorship and television viewership. The league\“s success demonstrates kabaddi\“s commercial potential and growing appeal beyond its traditional regional boundaries.
Traditional Indian sporting goods manufacturers produce specialized equipment for kabaddi players, including knee pads, elbow guards, and specific footwear designed for the sport\“s unique movements. Local companies also manufacture the official mat surfaces used in professional competitions, meeting international standards for safety and performance. |
