Kabaddi Showcase At The 2026 Commonwealth Games

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will host a Kabaddi exhibition match in the lead up to the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Multiculturalism makes our state stronger and more vibrant – and sports and events are an important celebration of our diversity.

It’s why we’ll host a Kabaddi exhibition match in the lead up to the 2026 Commonwealth Games – to celebrate culture, promote physical activity and provide the whole community the opportunity to tap in to a unique sporting and cultural experience.

Labor has a proud record of supporting Victoria’s multicultural communities. Since coming to government we’ve invested more than $300 million in support for multicultural communities. 

Matthew Guy’s Liberals can’t be trusted to support multicultural communities – they only pretend to care about communities in an election year.

Labor is doing what matters – celebrating Victoria’s cultural diversity by supporting community festivals and events, infrastructure and services.
