Ultimate Kho Kho, India’s first professional Kho Kho League, is a collaboration between Amit Burman, Chairman of Dabur India Ltd, and the Kho Kho Federation of India (KKFI). It was established with the goal of marketing and packaging India’s indigenous sport of Kho Kho into a professional structure.
The initiative aims to elevate India’s indigenous sport to prominence and make it the most sought-after sports league in the country. The Ultimate Kho Kho League aims to raise the age-old Indian sport to international levels and provide opportunities for young talent to showcase their abilities in front of a pan-India and global audience.
In its inaugural season, the league will field six teams and will draught Kho Kho players from around the world, including England, South Korea, the Republic of Iran, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, who will compete alongside Indian players. The teams will also have the opportunity to include young players in their respective squads, which will help nurture the country’s future of Kho Kho.
