England Kabaddi Union
National Governing Body for Kabaddi in England
Affiliated to the International Kabaddi Federation
Who we are & What we do
England Kabaddi Union (EKU) was established by five players who played at university level and were a part of university Kabaddi club commitees. Before we registered as a company, The England Kabaddi Union Ltd, there was no formal management of Kabaddi, specifically rectangular Kabaddi, in England. We are filling that gap with transparent and accountable functioning as the official governing body for Kabaddi in England while working towards sustainably fulfilling our mission.
We work closely with university Kabaddi clubs across England and Kabaddi organisations across the world. We are officially affiliated with the International Kabaddi Federation - which is the most well renowned and reputed Kabaddi organisation in the world. They manage and run the famous ProKabaddi League in India while also being responsible for organising the prestigious Kabaddi world cups.
You can find a list of our clubs and affiliates here.
