The 2025 Kabaddi World Cup was an announced plan for an event that was to be held in January 2025 but was indefinitely postponed. It was to be the fourth edition of the men's Kabaddi World Cup organised by the International Kabaddi Federation (IKF). It was announced in April 2024 that it would be hosted in India in January 2025, though it was later reported in January 2025 that it might take place later in the year, possibly in Bangladesh. [1]
