The inaugural match of the Asian Kabaddi Championship 2023 will be played between Chinese Taipei and Iran on Tuesday, June 27. Busan in the Republic of Korea will play host to this exciting clash on Tuesday.
Chinese Taipei have announced a balanced squad for the tournament with a mix of young and experienced players in their squad. They will look to make a winning start to the tournament, as only two teams will make it to the final of the competition.
Iran, on the other hand, will be without their ace defender Fazal Atrachali. They will be relying heavily on the likes of Md Reza Shadlu and Saeed Ghaffari to step up in the absence of their senior players and help the team get off to a winning start in the opening fixture.
