World Masters now at Frankfurt Germany in June

Dear judo competitors, Coaches or Fans,

We know that this year we have a big delay with the rescheduling of the judo masters championships. We ask for your apologies.

In January we had already arranged the event for Egypt, but the political situation push us to rebuild the event again.

It is a hard task to chose an organization which want and is ready to support financial and logistic to organize the Kata and Masters Championship and to arrange a logistic for 1.500 peoples.

In the end, Germany was our choice, and we appreciate their effort, but we thanks for all nations which offer their bid to organize the event.

We choose Frankfurt for more reasons. One is the experience of the German federation to manage a master event on this volume, the location which has worldwide flight contacts and the city as a potential touristic city.

In the mean time you find in the attachments a pdf document which present our continental events, judo & family program.

In this way we offer to the masters community from all the world , opportunity to travel and compete in different judo events.

In the name of the IJF masters commission I wish you good health and successful competitions.
