'Kabaddi Kabaddi Kabaddi!': We visited the first ever UK Kabaddi World Cup match in Wolverhampton and we were instantly hooked

Team England has taken their first win against Hungary in the first-of-its-kind UK-based Kabaddi World Cup championship match that took place in WV Active Aldersley in Wolverhampton. 

Kabaddi, a rather niche sport in the UK, is the second largest sport to be played in South Asia, with millions of people attending matches each and every week.

However, walking through the doors of the venue, it wasn't hard to see how much Kabaddi is loved by those who follow it. 

Hundreds of fans sat in their seats chanting and cheering on players who have travelled from across the world to compete. 

Following a talk on sport and diversity by Ashok Das, the president of the World Kabaddi Association, the now famed players rushed to the field, with England being led by Wolverhampton's very own Hardeep Singh, from Penn.
