Women’s Kabaddi World Cup is put on hold for later in 2025
Khel Kabaddi announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the 2025 Women’s Kabaddi World Cup (KWC) is postponed once again. It is meant to take place on August 3 to 10, but it has been moved until after the 2025 Pro Kabaddi League (PKL).
The postponement was reportedly due to the delayed submission of contingent team administrative details. To prevent further scheduling concerns, the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) said that no changes to the list of participants will be entertained.
It’s not the first time it was held back
This is not the first time the 2025 Women’s KWC has been delayed. The original schedule for the event was supposed to be held at Rajgir, Bihar, from June 1 to 10. Bihar withdrew as the host state, so the 2025 Women’s KWC was moved to Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
What we know so far about the competition
There is still no definitive schedule for the 2025 Women’s KWC, but the rest of the details remain unchanged. The tournament remains scheduled at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad and is set to feature the same 14 registered teams listed below:
| Argentina Bangladesh Chinese Taipei Germany Netherlands | Iran Japan Kenya Nepal Thailand | Uganda Zanzibar Poland India |
