The first Kabaddi World Cup winners were India, who claimed the inaugural title in 2004. This victory highlighted the deep roots of kabaddi in Indian culture, where it originated as a traditional sport. Kabaddi is not just a game but a symbol of India\“s rich heritage, often played in rural areas and promoted through local events. The sport\“s equipment, such as the kabaddi mat and traditional attire, are locally made products that support Indian artisans. Additionally, kabaddi tournaments boost local economies by attracting tourism and sales of indigenous goods like handcrafted sports gear and regional snacks, fostering pride in India\“s homegrown industries. |
