Tough competition


Early indication are that the 2010 International Inter City Kabaddi Championships to be held at the Stadium Titiwangsa from March 4-8 would see a stronger international line-up.

The first edition of the tournament in 2008 saw a total of three foreign teams each in the mens and womens competitions.

This year, teams from New Delhi, Faridabad, Katmandu, Chennai and an European team from Norway have indicated their intention to send their teams to KL. There will also be a second team from Nepal and a Kashmirian team.

We have also received interest from Colombo as well as a team from Chinese Taipei.

We are expecting defending champions Patialla to also confirm their entry.

KAKL are expected to field teams from Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya in the tournament. We have also received a couple of positive response from a couple other Malaysian cities.

The entries closes on February 1 while entries by name must be made by February 15.

The strong response to the tournament would certainly make the second edition of the International Inter City Kabaddi Championships a kabaddi spectacle.

Meanwhile, the KL and Putrajaya teams would go into intensive training sessions from next week. A team briefing has been scheduled for tomorrow at the Padang Timur at 2.30pm.
