Coventry City Council, Sky Blues in the Community and Coventry City Football Club hold kabaddi celebration event

Children from Coventry primary schools took part in a kabaddi tournament and enjoyed a pre-match fan zone at the Coventry Building Society Arena over the weekend!

Coventry City Council, Sky Blues in the Community and Coventry City Football Club held a celebration event that included the Kabaddi tournament, cultural activities and a pre-match fan zone in the exhibition hall. The children who took part in the tournament have been training in kabaddi over recent weeks and were able to compete at the arena ahead of a Coventry City game. The children were given tickets to watch the match to congratulate them on their participation.

The event was made possible by the Premier League Fans Fund and United By 2022 Charity funding. The project also aims to introduce Kabaddi as a sport to communities around the city, as well as engaging the South Asian communities in the Foleshill area to matchday experiences at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
