The campaign gives fans an opportunity to pledge their support to the team by signing up on https://www.raidforgold.in/. To express solidarity to the Indian Kabaddi team, the pledges will work as a reminder that when they step on the mat, it’s not just a team of 7 players, but the whole of India vying for victory.

Kabaddi was included as a discipline in the 11th Asian Games Beijing 1990, where India’s only gold medal was through Kabaddi. Since then, the Kabaddi team has been the pride of India in all editions of the Asian Games.

India put up a spectacular performance at the recently concluded Kabaddi Masters Dubai 2018 tournament where they beat Iran in the finals. In keeping with the success and sentiment, #RaidForGold aims to unite Indian hearts for Kabaddi. The 18^th Asian Games will begin on the 18^th of August 2018 and will showcase the clash between countries like Bangladesh, Iran, Japan, India, Pakistan, South Korea and many more as they battle for a chance at the gold.
