2016 Kabaddi World Cup schedule: Fixtures, How to watch live in UK and broad, live streaming information
Defending champions India will host the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup.
The 2016 Kabaddi World Cup will see 12 nations competing against each other from 7 October to 22 October, in order to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament. The third edition is based on the international format of the sport, which is organised by the International Kabaddi Federation in Gujarat, India.
India won on the previous two occasions. Being the host nation, they will be looking to extend their winning streak for the third time in a row. There is also a circle-style format, which is different from the international format that is being followed in the current edition taking place in Gujarat in October.
In this year's Kabaddi World Cup, all the matches, including the final will be held at the Arena by TransStadia in Ahmedabad, Gujarat's capital. The 12 teams are divided into two groups, Pool A and Pool B.
The two pools are given below:
Pool A
- India
- South Korea
- England
- Australia
- Argentina
- Bangladesh
Pool B
- Iran
- United States of America
- Kenya
- Japan
- Thailand
- Poland
