IJF President Marius Vizer used the occasion of the last day of the Junior World Championships competition in Abu Dhabi to look ahead to #WorldJudoDay on Wednesday 28 October. The theme this year is UNITY and all week-long famed judoka have been supporting the initiative which was introduced in 2011.

Vizer said: “I want to congratulate the international judo community for this fifth edition of the World Judo Day, which this year has the theme of UNITY. This is an important value of our sport. It is associated with other values such as honour, respect and friendship. Through the promotion of our moral code we can show that judo unites the people from all over the world and by doing so we can contribute to the development of a better society and to peace.“

Now in its fifth year, #WorldJudoDay is the annual celebration for all judoka.
