Indian Women's Kabaddi team announce for World Cup 2025

This is the second edition of the tournament.

The Women’s Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is scheduled to take place in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 17th to 24th November, featuring 12 teams from across the globe.

This will be the second edition of the tournament. The inaugural edition was held in 2012, where the Indian women’s team emerged victorious after defeating Iran 25–19 in the final.

Interestingly, this will be the first-ever Women’s World Cup to be hosted outside India, as the venue was initially set for Rajgir, then shifted to Hyderabad, and finally relocated to Dhaka.

The Indian Women’s Team has been officially announced for the upcoming tournament, as they prepare to step onto the mat once again to defend their title and aim for yet another World Cup victory.
