What is IJF?

The International Judo Federation (IJF) is the global governing body for the sport of judo, responsible for setting rules, organizing major competitions such as the World Judo Championships and Olympic judo events, and promoting the sport worldwide. In India, the IJF works closely with the Judo Federation of India (JFI) to develop the sport at national and grassroots levels, ensuring compliance with international standards. The IJF is referenced in contexts such as athlete rankings, tournament eligibility, and coaching certifications. Indian judokas aspiring to compete internationally must adhere to IJF regulations and participate in IJF-sanctioned events. The acronym is commonly used in sports journalism, government sports ministry documents, and by sports enthusiasts. For competitive exams like UPSC or sports quota interviews, knowledge of the IJF's role in global sports governance is sometimes tested to assess awareness of international sports bodies.
