The Khelo India Beach Games (KIBG) 2025 is ready for its inaugural edition. The Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, will host the event from May 19 to 24.
The Beach Games are the latest addition to the Khelo India initiative of the Indian government with an aim to promote sports at the grassroots levels in the country.
The format of the Khelo India Beach Games is similar to that of its other siblings. Medals earned by individual athletes or teams will contribute to the overall medal tally of their respective state or Union Territory (UT). The state or UT that top the medal charts at the end win the team championship.
The KIBG 2025 will be the third Khelo India event of the year after the Winter Games and recently concluded Youth Games.
The first edition of the Beach Games will host over 1000 athletes from 22 States and UTs from across the country, who will be competing across six medal sports and two demonstration events at KIBG 2025.
