The Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is being held from Nov. 17 to 24 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It marks the tournament's debut outside Indian soil. This year's competition brings together 11 countries, featuring reigning champions India, previous editions' runners-up Iran.
This year's tournament has seen a series of changes to its host city. Originally slated for Rajgir, Bihar, in June, the event was then planned for Hyderabad in August before finally selecting Dhaka as its venue.
All the matches are being held at the Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium in Mirpur.
Notably, this is the first Women's Kabaddi World Cup since 2012, when Patna hosted, and the Indian side clinched the trophy with a win over Iran.
The Women's Kabaddi World Cup 2025 will see 11 teams competing for the championship. Apart from India and Iran, Bangladesh, Chinese Taipei, Germany, Kenya, Nepal, Poland, Thailand, Uganda, and Zanzibar are part of the tournament.
