About this opportunity
The Junior National Kabaddi Championship for girls is the Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India national event for its age group. AKFI runs the girls' championship as its own tournament: it has its own circular, its own host state, its own dates and its own weight limit, and it is not played alongside the other section.
A player must be below 20 years of age on the last day of the event and must weigh 65 kg and below. Each affiliated State or Union Territory enters one team of 14 players, and AKFI directs that a team may only include players of that State or UT. Matches are played on mats and every player must wear playing shoes.
Entry is not something a family files. The State or UT kabaddi association selects the squad and submits the entry form online, and the player must hold an online AKFI registration number and identity card before that. A printed copy of the entry form travels to the venue, and a physical Aadhaar card is checked at the weighing.
Rounds and format
Teams are drawn into pools and play pool matches, after which the leading teams go into knockout rounds to decide the title. All matches are played on mats under AKFI rules, and the weighing is held before a team plays.
How entries are judged
Matches are decided on points scored through raids and tackles under AKFI rules, with the higher score at full time taking the match and the tie-breaking procedure applied in a knockout tie.
Selection process
Entry is decided by the State or UT association, which selects one squad of 14 from its own players. Inside the championship, teams advance on pool results and then on knockout matches, and the last team standing takes the junior national title for the girls' section.
Frequently asked questions
