Khelo India Beach Games:

Beach kabaddi is looking to leave a long-lasting impression when the popular indigenous sport moves from the mat to the stand for an exciting debut in the Khelo India Beach Games 2025 in Diu.

Kabaddi's main form that’s played on a mat is quite popular in India, is a medal sport in the Asian Games, and hosts a very popular kabaddi league. However, beach kabaddi is a new concept. Last year, when the Diu Beach Games were organized, beach kabaddi was also a part of the programme.
