Get ready for the Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025! This year promises to be a thrilling competition, showcasing the strength and skill of women's kabaddi on a global stage.
Unfortunately, Argentina was originally supposed to compete but had to withdraw before the tournament even started.
The teams are divided into two groups, each battling for a spot in the semi-finals. Group A features India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Uganda, and Germany. Meanwhile, Group B consists of Chinese Taipei, Iran, Poland, Kenya, Nepal, and Zanzibar. The top two teams from each group will advance after the round-robin matches.
Here's an interesting fact: This Kabaddi World Cup is the first-ever – for both women and men – to be held outside of India.
The tournament faced some unexpected changes. It was initially planned for Rajgir, Bihar, in June. However, it was later moved to Hyderabad and then rescheduled to Bangladesh due to several postponements.
India and Iran have consistently dominated women's kabaddi. But here's where it gets interesting: Chinese Taipei has made significant progress in recent years, making them a team to watch.
