Haryana Steelers (HAR) is a professional kabaddi team based in Panchkula, Haryana, that plays in the Pro Kabaddi League. The team is currently led by Jaideep Dahiya and Rahul Sethpal, and coached by Manpreet Singh. The team is owned by JSW Sports, part of the JSW Group. The Steelers play their home matches at Tau Devi Lal Athletic Stadium (Panchkula).[1]

The Steelers had a good start to life in the PKL as they reached the playoffs in their debut 2017 season, but the success was short-lived, as the team finished in the bottom of Zone A in the following 2018-19 season.

Haryana Steelers had a tremendous start in the PKL 2019. They made their claim for the title by making it to the playoffs due to their strong Raiders. But Haryana Steelers stayed away from the trophy due to their defense glitch in the eliminator against U Mumba. Overall 2019 season was one of the best season for team. The coach of the team Rakesh Kumar also made his name as a successful coach of Pro Kabaddi League by making team to Playoffs. During 2023-24 season Haryana Steelers qualified to Final for the first time in their history.

Identity

[edit]

The brand-new logo, which is a dynamically posed Bhima wielding his heavy Gada (mace), powerfully leaning forward with his arm and reaching out strikingly, exemplifies Haryana Steelers' core values of resilience, strength, and tenacity. The logo also captures the action and emotion of an energetic and fierce warrior, be it on the battleground or on the Kabaddi mat.[3]
