Kabaddi World Cup: India dominates England and wins both men’s and women’s finals
England failed to steal the championship title, as India was triumphant last Sunday, March 23, 2025. India remains the undefeated champions of the Kabaddi World Cup in both men’s and women’s divisions.
At the match held in Wolverhampton, India destroyed England’s men’s kabaddi team with a score of 44-41. The women’s division was also victorious as they took home a landslide win against their opponents. The score ended in 57-34, in favour of India.
England team’s vice-captain, Sally Hill, expressed her appreciation for everyone’s support.
‘I think for Team England women, we're going to keep pushing forward.’ she said.
Despite the loss, the vice-captain also voiced her gratitude towards their opponents and stated that the whole event had been a special experience for them.
The recently concluded Kabaddi World Cup is historic as it was the first time the competition was held outside of Asia. Several matches happened in the West Midlands, namely Birmingham, Coventry, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, which were the final venues.
Paddy Power sponsored the World Cup, while the UK Government's Commonwealth Games Legacy Enhancement Fund provided £500,000. The University of Wolverhampton offered academic sponsorships as well.
