Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. This contact team sport originated in ancient India and is now played in many countries around the world.
Despite its growing popularity, kabaddi is not currently included in the Olympic Games. The sport has been featured in Asian Games since 1990 and has its own World Cup competitions, but it has not yet met the criteria for Olympic inclusion.
The process of getting a sport into the Olympics is complex and requires meeting specific standards set by the International Olympic Committee. Kabaddi organizations continue to work toward Olympic recognition by promoting the sport globally and meeting the necessary requirements.
While kabaddi enthusiasts hope to see their favorite sport in future Olympic Games, for now, fans can enjoy kabaddi through various international tournaments and professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India. |
