The International Judo Federation (IJF) has unveiled its new website, taking an important step towards the digital future of judo while remaining firmly connected to the values that define the sport.

The world of sport is evolving rapidly, and the way people consume information, follow competitions and engage with their favourite sports is changing with it.

While address stays the well-known www.ijf.org, the upgraded outlook aims to bring the entire world of judo together in one accessible digital environment.

Just as judo is built on the moral code's fundamental values, its digital future must be built on knowledge, accessibility and connection. The objective goes far beyond a modern visual identity. It is about responding to the challenges of 21st-century digital communication while preserving the sport's extraordinary heritage.

Decades of historical results, competition records, athlete profiles, regulations, educational resources, news and inspiring stories are brought together in one place. The ambition is to ensure that the knowledge accumulated across generations remains accessible, relevant and valuable for the future.

The new website serves the entire judo family: athletes, coaches, national federations, media representatives, fans and those discovering the sport for the first time.

Because technology may change the way we communicate, but the principles that make judo special remain timeless.
