Kho Kho WC Winners To Attend Independence Day Celebrations At Red Fort For First Time
Kho Kho World Cup: In a historic first for the indigenous sport, players from the Indian men’s and women’s Kho Kho World Cup-winning teams have been invited as special guests to the 79th Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort. The invitation marks the first time Kho Kho players will be part of India’s Independence Day ceremony.
Earlier this year, both Indian teams made history by clinching the men’s and women’s titles at the first-ever Kho Kho World Cup, held at Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium from January 13 to 19, 2025. The tournament saw participation from 39 teams (20 men’s and 19 women’s) representing 23 countries across six continents.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the nation in the Independence Day address from the iconic Red Fort on August 15. This year’s celebration will host around 5,000 special guests from diverse fields, including sportspersons, innovators, and community leaders.
