JUDOFEST 2020! AN EXCITING PROGRAMME

The end of year celebrations are upon us. We are about to celebrate a year that we would probably like to forget because it was so complicated, in order to fully enter the new year that we believe will be better. But before that, the International Judo Federation offers you an innovative judo festival whose programme promises to be as exciting as interesting. Tell your loved ones that on December 27 you will be glued to your computer screen.
