The Global Pravasi Kabaddi League is an exciting international kabaddi tournament that showcases India\“s traditional sport to global audiences. This league brings together players from the Indian diaspora community worldwide, creating a unique platform for cultural exchange and sporting excellence.
Kabaddi, originating from ancient India, is a contact team sport that requires strength, strategy, and breath control. The Global Pravasi Kabaddi League features teams representing different countries with significant Indian populations, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and various Middle Eastern nations.
The league follows standard kabaddi rules where two teams of seven players each compete on opposite halves of a court. The \“raider\“ enters the opposing team\“s half to tag defenders while chanting \“kabaddi\“ in one breath. Points are scored by tagging opponents or preventing the raider from returning to their half.
This international tournament not only promotes Indian culture and heritage but also provides opportunities for young kabaddi players of Indian origin to connect with their roots. The league has gained significant popularity among both Indian communities abroad and local populations in host countries.
Matches are typically held in major cities across different continents, featuring high-energy performances, traditional music, and enthusiastic crowds. The Global Pravasi Kabaddi League has become an important bridge between India and its diaspora, fostering national pride and cultural preservation through sports. |
