The International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) on Wednesday declared that the ongoing Kabaddi World Cup in London is an ‘unauthorised’ event and urged India’s apex kabaddi body to take action against the team participating in the tournament.

The Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is currently being held in the West Midlands from March 17 to 23. The tournament is being organised by the England Kabaddi Association and the British Kabaddi League (BKL) under the banner of the World Kabaddi Federation, a rival international governing body for the sport.
