Kabaddi all-time medal tally at Asian Games: India aim to extend record in Aichi-Nagoya

India aims to extend their record in Kabaddi at the 2026 Asian Games, set to be held in Aichi-Nagoya. Kabaddi made its debut as an exhibition event in the Asian Games back in 1982 and became a full-fledged event in 1990. The sport's women's category was introduced in 2010, making it a full-blown competition. India has been the most successful team in Kabaddi at the Asian Games, having clinched all but one edition in both men's and women's categories.

The men's team won the gold medal in seven consecutive editions before falling to fourth place in the 2018 Jakarta Games, where Iran emerged victorious. India retained the men's gold medal in the 2023 Hangzhou Games. In the women's category, India has won the gold medal in every edition except the 2018 Games, where they took home the silver behind Iran.

India's 11 gold medals in Kabaddi across all Asian Games editions rank third in the nation's all-time medal tally, behind athletics and shooting. India's Kabradhi final in Aichi-Nagoya will pit them against Iran, with the men's final scheduled for 2:30 PM IST on September 26, 2026, and the women's final at 9:30 AM IST on the same day.
