Brazilian judo competition circuit 2026

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, municipal judo events highlighted local talent. Athletes from São Gonçalo do Rio Abaixo secured three medals at the Minas Gerais School Games, clinching the Female Judo Module I state title. The same week, Monteiro in Paraíba hosted the second stage of the Paraibano Judo Circuit, the first such event in the Cariri region.

By early August, the Rio de Janeiro Judo Federation (FJERJ) detailed its performance at the national Sub‑13 Championship in Macapá, Amapá. Representing ten affiliated clubs, Rio athletes earned 14 medals, consisting of three gold, five silver, and six bronze. FJERJ also confirmed that the 2026 Copa Rio International Judo will relocate to the Anfiteatro do Riocentro in Barra da Tijuca. The venue, capable of hosting 12,000 spectators, is expected to see over 1,500 registrations from approximately one hundred clubs nationwide.

Later in August, the city of São José was scheduled to host the Brazilian Junior Judo Championship at the Arena Multiuso. Organized by the Confederação Brasileira de Judô (CBJ), the event targets athletes aged 15 to 20 and serves as a ranking platform for future Olympic cycles. The championship is expected to draw over 600 participants and provide a local economic boost, with the hotel sector reporting full occupancy.
