History

Kabaddi is an Indian subcontinent-based contact sport. It is one among India's most popular sports, mostly of village dwellers. In kabaddi, India has competed in four Asian Games and won gold in each of them. In 1950, the All India Kabaddi Federation was formed, and uniform regulations were developed.[5][6] In 1973, the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI) was established. The first men's nationals were held in Tamil Nadu (Chennai) after the foundation of the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India, while the first women's nationals were held in AKFI has given a new structure to the regulations.[7]
