Kabaddi is a contact team sport originating from ancient Tamil Nadu, India. Kabaddi is played between two teams of seven players. The objective of the game is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider.
Following is the pool distribution of the teams:
| POOL A | POOL B | POOL C | POOL D |
| Pakistan Air Force (PAF) | WAPDA | Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) | Higher Education Commission (HEC) |
