Noida welcomes Pro Kabaddi League after four-year hiatus with open arms

Kabaddi was the eventual winner as UP Yoddhas, representing Uttar Pradesh, returned to its home base in Noida for the Pro Kabaddi League season 10 after a long wait of four years and two seasons this year.

Kabaddi fans turned up in huge numbers celebrating the spirit of Kabaddi to watch their favourite teams play at the Noida Indoor Stadium, which hosted the Noida leg of the Pro Kabaddi League season 10 for the first time. With over 90% occupancy rate in the first four days of the Noida leg that kicked off on December 29, 2023, to concluded on January 3, 2024, Kabaddi fans from Delhi NCR couldn’t get a better and happier way to call in the New Year.

Speaking on the successful start to the home leg of UP Yoddhas, Sujoy Ganguly, Marketing Head, GMR League Games said, “We are overwhelmed to see how the fans have come out in full strength to celebrate Kabaddi in Noida. This is a testimony to how the sport is loved and celebrated in this part of the country. As a team, we are grateful to our fans who have left no stone unturned to support their team and I look forward to their continued support not just for the next few days but also the season ahead.”

UP Yoddhas started their home leg on a positive note against Bengaluru Bulls with a 34-33 win. Captain Pardeep Narwal led the team from the front as he earned the highest points (10) in the match. However, in their next two games against Dabang Delhi K.C. and Patna Pirates, the Yoddhas missed out on victory despite Captain Pardeep Narwal’s stellar performances and are currently ranked tenth in the standings with 21 points in their kitty.
