LATVIA TO HOST VETERAN AND KATA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025

LATVIA TO HOST VETERAN AND KATA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025

The city of Riga will host the European Judo Championships Veterans & Kata 2025. The official flag handover ceremony took place in Sarajevo, where Mr. Vsevolods ZELONIJS, President of the Latvian Judo Federation expressed his outmost delight.

We are honoured to host this event next year. We have a lot of tasks to complete and a big shoes to fill after this organisation in Sarajevo. We think about how we can make it even better. Logistics and accreditation are the first question for us as we want to organise a smooth running of this element, as well as all. We also have the support of the municipality who has sufficient resources to support with.

We seek to grow our kata team until then as well and have two teams in each category, cadet, junior and senior. We have a Kata seminar scheduled in July. The preparation is full steam ahead on and off the mat. We want to thank EJU President Dr Toth Laszlo and the European Judo Union in trusting us with the organisation of these events.
