In the approaching competitors in India, we will have a mix of young and knowledgeable gamers.
The World Championships will function as a valuable test for our players.
We just recently achieved runners-up at the Asian Championship kept in Tehran, and I can confidently state that roughly 80% of the previous gamers have been replaced by motivated young skills.
Our goal is to rejuvenate the womens kabaddi group, she added.
The World Championship in India presents an excellent opportunity to develop a strong and capable group for the 2026 Asian Games.
Currently, I supervise of the youth team, while Ms.
Torbatinejad will oversee the senior team.
Coaching the youth team is absolutely more tough since the players are still beginners and need expert training.
Building a competitive youth team for the significant event in Bahrain demands effort, skill, and energy, and I hope to be successful in this objective, Danesh concluded.
