Scotland's men's team aims for a spot in the Kabaddi World Cup 2025 semi-finals on March 22. The event kicks off in the West Midlands on March 17 and ends on March 23. Scotland’s coach, Sukhinder Dhillon is getting his squad ready for matches against India, Italy, Wales, and Hong Kong China. 

The Kabaddi World Cup 2025 marks the first time the World Cup is held outside Asia. ‘India are the strongest team in the group. They're the reigning world champions and have so many quality players’, Dhillon said.

Dhillon also mentioned that Scotland is seen as a long shot with odds of 100-1 to win. He believes that the situation is acceptable, given that many players lack experience on the global stage.

‘We'll give it a go. Our guys have the experience of playing in the British League but this, of course, is another level. Italy and the USA have brought some superstars’, Dhillon added.
