Asian Kabaddi Championships returned in 2023 after a multi-year hiatus. The last time the event was held was in 2017.
Kabaddi is a contact team sport that originated in South Asia and is especially popular in countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Iran. The sport involves two teams sending a "raider" into the opponent's half of the court to tag members of the opposing team while chanting "kabaddi, kabaddi," all in one breath. The objective for the defenders is to either evade the raider or tackle them before they can return to their half of the court.
The Asian Kabaddi Federation governs the Asian Kabaddi Championships and usually features teams from various countries participating in men's, women's, and sometimes junior categories. The tournament has been a stepping stone for many players to gain international exposure and has played a vital role in developing and popularizing the sport in Asia.
Over the years, countries like India, Pakistan, Iran, and South Korea have been strong contenders in the tournament, showcasing high skill levels and strategy. The championships often serve as a precursor to other international events like the Kabaddi World Cup and the Asian Games, where Kabaddi is also featured.
