Exciting times are here for Kho-Kho fans! The Indian team’s preparations for the upcoming Kho-Kho World Cup 2025 are in full swing. The action kicks off with a month-long training camp at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, starting December 10. And leading the charge? None other than Ashwini Sharma, the team’s head coach.
The goal? To bring the trophy home.
What Makes This Training Camp Special?
Here’s the scoop. This isn’t your ordinary practice session. It’s an intense, all-out effort to prepare our athletes to dominate on the global stage.
Expert Supervision: Ashwini Sharma, known for his strategic brilliance, is at the helm. His guidance will sharpen the players’ skills like never before.
Top Talent: 120 players (60 men and 60 women) from across India are here. Each with a single aim—to make the final cut.
What Happens at the Camp?
- It’s rigorous. It’s challenging. But that’s what it takes to build champions. Players undergo specialized training designed to:
- Boost agility and speed with drills like zig-zag running and pole diving.
- Strengthen mental resilience to handle high-pressure matches.
- Master advanced techniques: dodging, tapping, and defensive strategies.
The result? A squad that’s ready to take on the world.
The Big Selection
Here’s how it works: Over the course of the camp, the coaching staff will evaluate players. By the end, 15 men and 15 women will be selected to represent India in the World Cup.
The stakes? Sky-high.
Exceptional Support for Players
The Kho-Kho Federation of India (KKFI), along with the Sports Authority of India (SAI) and the Ministry of Sports, is leaving no stone unturned to support the players:
Health First: Each player undergoes a medical check-up to ensure they’re in top shape.
Top-Class Facilities: Free accommodation at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium hostel, nutritious meals, and high-quality sports kits worth ₹20,000 each.
The goal? Let the players focus 100% on the game.

India Prepares to Host the World
The Kho-Kho World Cup 2025 will be held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi, from January 13 to 19. Hosting the tournament is a huge deal. It’s not just about showcasing our talent; it’s about putting Kho-Kho on the global map.
The X-Factor: Why This Camp Stands Out
This isn’t just training. It’s a complete package:
- Tech Meets Tradition: Players get access to video analysis sessions to fine-tune their performance.
- Mind Over Matter: Sports psychologists will conduct workshops on stress management and focus improvement.
- Building Bonds: Cultural exchange activities will strengthen team unity.
With this kind of preparation, the Indian team is set to dominate the Kho-Kho World Cup 2025. The competition will be fierce. The pressure, immense. But one thing is clear—India is ready.
So, mark your calendars. January 13 to 19. It’s going to be a battle worth watching. Let’s cheer for Team India as they aim for the ultimate glory in Kho-Kho. The World Cup is ours to win!
