The 2019 Kabaddi World Cup was the inaugural National (Asian) style tournament held by World Kabaddi (not to be confused with the World Kabaddi Federation or the International Kabaddi Federation).[1] It was originally scheduled to be contested from 2 to 15 April 2019 in Melaka, Malaysia. However, the tournament was postponed and held from July 20–28 with fewer teams participating.

Competition was held for both the men and women's categories. Powerhouses India became doubles champions,[2] grabbing both titles at stake.

Organization

[edit]

World Kabaddi, formed in 2018, undertook organisation of their showcase event for the first time in 2019.

Due to sponsorship and other technical issues, the tournament had to be postponed from April to July of the same year, with a reduced number of participating teams.

The tournament was hosted by the Malaysia Kabaddi Federation (MKF) and was officially launched by the governor of the Melaka state, Dr Mohd Khalil Yaakob, on November 17, 2018.[3]

Present at the launch with Mohd Khalil at the Temasek Hotel[4] in Ujong Pasir were World Kabaddi Vice-President Jagjit Singh and State Health and Anti Drug Committee Chairman Low Chee Leong.

The Melaka State Malaysian Indian Youth Council (MYIC) and the Melaka State Malaysian Youth Council were the youth organisations that were also supporters of the event.

Theme Song

[edit]

Composer Balanraj from Malaysia penned the theme song for the event.[5] Music Arrangements were made by M Jegathees with Sound Engineering by Boy Ragde and the Song Lyrics and Vocals by Vinz.
