Telangana will host the eighth edition of the Khelo India Youth Games from December 11 to 22, bringing young athletes from across the country to competition venues in Hyderabad and five other cities.

Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced the event schedule on November 9. The 12-day competition will feature 27 medal sports and one demonstration sport, with more than 6,050 athletes expected to participate.

Hyderabad will serve as the main venue, hosting 22 medal sports at facilities including the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium complex in Basheerbagh and the Gachibowli Sports Complex.

The remaining competitions will be distributed among five other cities. Khammam will host archery, Hanamkonda will stage athletics, Karimnagar will host judo, Nizamabad will conduct table tennis and Mahbubnagar will host kabaddi.

The multi-city arrangement is expected to bring national-level sporting activity beyond the state capital and involve local sports facilities and organisers in several districts.

Sailing is scheduled as a demonstration event. The Games will give young competitors an opportunity to compete at a national level and provide organisers with a platform to assess venues, facilities and event management.

Telangana has been preparing for the competition through coordination among government departments and sports authorities. The state’s hosting role also places attention on transport, accommodation, medical support, security and the readiness of competition venues.

The Khelo India programme is a central government initiative intended to encourage grassroots participation, identify sporting talent and strengthen the country’s sports ecosystem. The youth edition brings together athletes in different age-group disciplines.

With the schedule now announced, attention will turn to final preparations and the arrival of participating teams. The event is expected to attract athletes, coaches, officials and supporters to the host cities during the December competition period.
