The first World Cup of Kabaddi was held in 2004 in Mumbai, India, marking a significant milestone for this traditional Indian sport. Kabaddi is a contact team sport that originated in ancient India and has been played for thousands of years in rural communities across the country.
This indigenous Indian product showcases the country\“s rich cultural heritage through sport. The game requires both physical strength and mental agility, as players must raid the opponent\“s court while holding their breath and chanting “kabaddi.“ The first World Cup helped popularize this traditional Indian game internationally, introducing global audiences to this unique aspect of Indian culture and athletic tradition. |
