India and Iran will meet in the men’s kabaddi gold-medal match at the Asian Games 2026 on Saturday, September 26, at the Tokai Citizen Gymnasium, with the contest scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM IST.
The tournament’s finalists were determined after four days of group-stage matches followed by the semi-finals, leaving two nations to compete for the gold medal in the men’s event at the Asian Games 2026.
In semi-final 1, India overcame Thailand 66-28 in a one-sided contest; Devank Dalal scored 25 raid points in that match and, with the victory, India qualified for another men’s kabaddi final at the Asian Games.
In semi-final 2, Iran defeated Chinese Taipei 59-21 to reach the gold-medal match, recording a comfortable win that secured their place in the final.
India and Iran will face each other again for the title; they met in the Asian Games finals in 2010, 2014, and 2022, with India winning on each of those occasions. However, Iran’s current team cannot be underestimated, as they can turn the tide, and all eyes in India and Iran will be glued to their TV screens to watch the match.
