The Kabaddi event in the Khelo India Youth Games 2020 will commence from 9th January 2020 and culminate on 13th January 2020, which will take place in LNIPE Sonapur, Guwahati.
The event promises to uplift the next Kabaddi stars from the grassroots level as a platform to provide them with future opportunities. The likes of Pankaj Mohite, V Ajith Kumar, Sushant Sail, Sourabh Patil, and Sushil Gulia made a name for themselves in the Pro Kabaddi League after their maiden stint with Khelo India Youth Games last year.
In the second edition of the Khelo India Youth Games held in Pune last year, Chattisgarh (U-17) and Himachal Pradesh (U-21) emerged victorious in the girl's category. On the other hand, Haryana (U-17) and Chandigarh (U-21) clinched gold in the boys' final matches.
A total of 192 players from the Under-17 and Under-21 age group will participate in the competition with boys and girls categories. The winners from the final will get awarded with the gold medal, and the runners-ups will settle with the silver. Each team will play a total of three league stage matches, where the top-2 will qualify for the semi-finals.
