In 1982 the Kho-Kho match was played during the 9th Asian Games held at Delhi. In 1985 Kho-Kho was included in the National Games conducted by the Indian Olympic Association at Delhi. In 1985 the Indian women Kho-Kho team demonstrated its skills at Leningrad city of the Soviet Union. India has played many friendly Kho-Kho matches with Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
