ISLAMABAD: A joint kabbadi training camp between Pakistan and Iran is set to get underway as the Iranian team arrives in Islamabad on Monday.

The training camp will be held to help both countries prepare for this year’s Asian Games, to be held in China from November 12 to 27.

“Iran’s national team will arrive here on Monday for a joint training camp and some friendly matches. The training camp will be beneficial for both the teams ahead of the Asian Games,” Pakistan Kabbadi Federation (PKF) secretary Mohammad Sarwar told PPI.
