Matches from the upcoming tournament will be exclusively live-streamed on FanCode, reaching its user base of more than 20 million sports fans.
The K7 Kabaddi Stage Up Tournament is a 17-day event, starting on July 22. It will feature 59 matches with more than 140 players and coaches participating from across Haryana. The 10 participating teams include 8 teams that made it through the K7 Qualifiers in March, and 2 additional wild card entries. Taking place at the Future Fighters Kabaddi Academy, Gurugram, each participating academy team will come in with a squad of 12 players and 2 officials.
Through collaboration with FanCode, Kabaddi Adda aims to bring back live kabaddi action to the fans who have been waiting for the sport to resume. Speaking on this, Suhail Chandhok, Co-Founder, Kabaddi Adda, said, “It’s been a challenging year for athletes and with the K7 Stage Up, we want to not only bring back the thrill of our own Sport of Kabaddi, but provide opportunities to budding players from top Kabaddi academies across the country. The collaboration with FanCode helps us reach out to Kabaddi fans on a massive scale but also provide a platform for talent across players, coaches and referees to showcase their skills, giving them exposure among fans and professional teams across India and Indian sub-continent.”
FanCode, launched in March 2019, provides highly personalised experience across sports content, commerce and statistics to all sports fans through innovative technology. Since inception, FanCode has partnered with several domestic and international sports leagues and associations across multiple sports.
Talking about the partnership and comprehensive digital sports experience that will be offered during K7 Kabaddi, Prasana Krishnan, Co-Founder of FanCode, said, “We are excited to host and support Kabaddi’s comeback after a hiatus by live streaming all the action from K7 Kabaddi. To make it engaging, through innovative technology, we are creating a comprehensive live kabaddi experience where the fans can witness live streaming, fastest live scores with play-by-play information, real-time statistics, and much more.”
The tournament will sport prizes for the winning team, ‘Super 6’ – top 6 players of the tournament, Best Raider, Defender and more. The 6 top teams from the tournament will move on to the K7 Finals, which is scheduled to take place at the end of this year.
Kabaddi Adda’s existing distribution network and strong connect will help amplify the content, with social reach to the massive kabaddi audience online. Being associated with the grassroot ecosystem of the sport, it will leverage expertise in data and automation tech to bring together the community. Recently, Kabaddi Adda even undertook an initiative ‘Mann ki Jeet’ to address and support the mental health wellbeing of kabaddi athletes and make them field-ready for upcoming tournaments like K7 Kabaddi.

Macau Government Extends Lottery Concession of Macau Slot Until 5 June 2026

The Macau government has extended the lottery concession of Macau Slot Co Ltd for one year until 5 June 2026.
The concession renewal was published in the official gazette on Wednesday. Further extensions may be granted, subject to mutual agreement between the Macau government and Macau Slot.
As part of the renewal terms, Macau Slot is required to gradually reduce its number of non-resident employees and actively collaborate with the government to recruit and retain local talent.
Earlier this month, the government held a meeting with Macau Slot representatives to discuss the extension. According to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ), the city’s industry regulator, Macau Slot committed to cutting 35% of its non-local, non-skilled workforce—equivalent to 26 positions—by the first quarter of 2026. The company also pledged to make further reductions to its foreign labour quota in the future. Currently, non-local staff account for 15% of the total workforce at Macau Slot.
“Over the past year, despite fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and slower economic recovery in neighbouring regions, the local economy has remained relatively stable under the guidance of the Macau SAR government’s policies,” Macau Slot said in a statement.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to further diversifying our sports betting products to meet customer demand, while upgrading our information technology infrastructure to stay current and deliver more comprehensive sports betting services.”
