KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 (Bernama) -- The national kabaddi squad aim to bring home two gold medals from the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand next month.
National kabaddi head coach M. Palaniandy expects his men's and women's teams to strike gold in the three stars event (involving teams of three players per side), which will be making its debut at the biennial Games.
He added they have been preparing since April, including undergoing a 40-day training stint at two locations in India - Puducherry and Haryana.
"The players are all ready for action. They are physically in top shape, and I hope they will take care of themselves and stay injury-free ahead of the SEA Games,” he said after deputy chef de mission Nazmizan Muhammad visited the squad here today.
Palaniandy also reminded his players to be wary of hosts Thailand, who can dash their hopes of striking gold.
The 2025 Thailand SEA Games will be held in Bangkok, Chonburi and Songkhla from Dec 9-20.
