The excitement is building across the continent as we mark 166 days to go before the kickoff of the 1st Africa Junior Kabaddi Championship, set to take place in Kampala, Uganda, from 10th to 20th December 2025. This historic event will be hosted at the iconic Lugogo Stadium and promises to bring together the best of Africa’s budding Kabaddi talent.
This milestone championship will see participation from over 10 African countries, with boys’ and girls’ teams competing fiercely not just for continental glory—but for a golden opportunity to qualify for the Junior Kabaddi World Cup 2026.
As the Africa Kabaddi Union (AKU), we believe in empowering the next generation of Kabaddi stars. This championship represents a major step forward in nurturing young talent and building strong national teams across the continent. For many players, it will be their first time representing their country on an international stage—a moment of pride, determination, and dreams in motion.
Uganda, known for its passionate sporting culture and vibrant youth energy, is pulling out all the stops to ensure this tournament is a landmark experience for athletes, fans, and the Kabaddi community. Preparations are already in full gear to make Lugogo Stadium a festival ground of Kabaddi celebration and continental unity.
