TEHRAN – Iran learned its opponents at the 2025 Women’s Kabaddi World Cup.
Team Melli Banovan has been drawn in Group B along with Chinese Taipei, Nepal, Poland and Kenya.
Group A consists of defending champion India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Uganda and Germany.
The 2025 World Cup will be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from November 17 to 24.
