The month of March is the month for kabaddi, a month to celebrate everything positive about kabaddi. The day March 24, especially, is a significant day for the kabaddi fraternity as it is the day picked to highlight our favourite sports.
The World Kabaddi Day is more than just another day in the calendar, it is a day that kabaddi celebrates the struggles and victories of the past. It celebrates the vision of the sports future. It celebrates the people that had made the sport a worldwide wonder. It celebrates the founders, the players, the coaches, the administrators, the technical officials and each and every one, smitten by the game.
World Kabaddi is calling upon the international kabaddi fraternity to celebrate this momentous occasion to show your love for kabaddi.
The theme for the World Kabaddi Day 2025 is TEAMWORK MAKES OUR DREAM WORK. The theme was chosen to need of teamwork to promote the game.
The selected date for World Kabaddi Day coincides with the formation of World Kabaddi on March 24, 2018. This year it will also be a day after the Kabaddi World Cup 2025 in West Midlands.
The objective is for each country to conduct at least one kabaddi activity in the month of March, and with the culmination on the specific day. It will be a celebration of kabaddi around the world.
The event in each country should be designed to be a fun event that creates awareness and enthusiasm for kabaddi in the participating communities.
The event should be designed for everyone, regardless of age, background or fitness level.
With a focus on grassroots initiatives, it should inspire youngsters to take up kabaddi competitively or socially.
Apart from member associations in each country, schools and other organisations should also be encouraged to organise kabaddi events of their own.
