World Kabaddi was formed on 24th March 2018, a day it now celebrates as "World Kabaddi Day". The World Kabaddi has focused in spreading the game beyond
Asia, especially in
Europe and
Africa, and as of 2024, World Kabaddi had more than 50 member countries. However, some countries that participate in
International Kabaddi Federation events cannot participate in World Kabaddi events as they do not have a governing body affiliated to the World Kabaddi. Countries that participate in both IKF and World Kabaddi sanctioned events have separate governing bodies for each affiliation. == History ==
