Kho Kho gets spot in nat’l sports calendars

The Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI) said this is a development that underscores the sport’s rising stature.

The announcement was made during the AIESCB’s General Body Meeting held in Mumbai, where the sport was recognised as an official discipline alongside 16 other sports like cricket, football, kabaddi, badminton, hockey, and tennis among others.

This significant development marks a growing trend among government and semi-government organisations to embrace Kho Kho as a mainstream sport, thereby expanding its presence across major sporting calendars of various government, non-government and autonomous bodies.
