But such a wonderful event, it is not happening at the Kabaddi Stadium! An alternative kabaddi court has been made with mats at the Shahid Noor Hussain Volleyball Stadium in Paltan.
'There is no kabaddi in schools and colleges in this country' Coach Saju Ram Gayet with the players after winning the Bangabandhu Cup International Kabaddi. Infrastructural development of National Kabaddi Stadium in Paltan was done three years ago. The old building was demolished and a six-story building was constructed. There is a gymnasium for the players, there is accommodation for both male and female players.
But the kabaddi court which is most needed to host the kabaddi game has become defective. And that's why Kabaddi Federation is not able to organize international tournaments at their own address despite having so many facilities. The previous two editions of Bangabandhu International Kabaddi have also been held at this volleyball ground.
In the Kabaddi court, the referee's sitting table should also be placed next to the court. In the Kabaddi court, the referee's sitting table should also be placed next to. In fact, the Kabaddi stadium does not have the space required to host an international tournament. Federation general secretary Habibur Rahman said in a helpless voice, 'We don't have an international court. So the game has to be played on the volleyball field. The game must continue here until an alternative venue is made.'
International Kabaddi court should be 13 meters in length and 10 meters in width. Three meters space around the court should be kept for advertisement board. The referee's sitting table should also be placed next to the court. Television broadcasting equipment and lighting also require a lot of space.
Apart from that, the players are now seated on both sides of the court. If the field is not rectangular, the spectators cannot watch the game well from the gallery. But due to the construction of new buildings and galleries on the southern side of the Kabaddi Stadium, the space has reduced a lot. Due to which it was not possible to arrange the necessary facilities for the international tournament. So forced to go to the Kabaddi volleyball field.
Abdul Mannan, a member of the Federation's Executive Committee and International Referee, claimed that because of the foresight of the National Sports Council (NSC), the game could not be organized at the Kabaddi Stadium. If the court is to be built in this size, the last boundary will merge with the road. When the National Sports Council built the stadium in 2010, they should have thought about these issues.
