WORLD JUDO CHAMPIONSHIPS SENIORS 2018
      Individual and Mixed Teams - Baku, Azerbaijan

                Dear ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to welcome the judo
                family to Azerbaijan for the World Judo Championships 2018.

                The World Championships is an eight-day long festival of judo
                as the blue ribbon event of the IJF World Judo Tour.

                I thank the Azerbaijan Judo Federation and its President
                Rovnag ABDULLAYEV for his support of the IJF’s most impor-
                tant competition.

                It is a pleasure for the IJF to stage the Worlds in Azerbaijan for
@MariusVizer    the first time. The host city of Baku has staged an IJF World
                Judo Tour event annually since 2011 and attracts many leading
                sports and multi-national organisations to the land of fire.

                We are confident of a fantastic competition and I wish good
                luck to the organisers, judoka, coaches, media, volunteers and
                everyone present at #JudoWorlds2018

                Marius L. VIZER
                President
                International Judo Federation
20-27 September 2018

Dear Guests! Dear friends!

On behalf of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation, I would like to welcome each of
you at the World Judo Championship 2018 held in Baku - the capital of our
country and wish you all success at the competitions.

Azerbaijan is a unique country, blending the fascinating nature with a symbiosis
of different ancient cultures. I believe that this visit will give you an opportunity to
get acquainted with our country, to learn rich traditions of our nation, as well as
to witness the social economic growth of Azerbaijan.

The state support for physical culture and sports in Azerbaijan is growing
steadily; great and big projects as the construction of new sports complexes,
including the development of sports infrastructure are implemented. Thanks
to directed state policy in this area, Azerbaijan has become one of the most
popular sports countries in Europe and in the world, gained the confidence of
international organizations and hosted the series of prestigious events at a high
level. The First European Games in 2015, IV Islamic Solidarity Games in 2017,
as well as European and World championships in several sports disciplines
hold in our country and thanks to the high-level organization, these events have
gained the deep sympathy of the global sport community.

Today, for the first time, we are hosting the World Judo Championship. I
express my deep gratitude to the International Judo Federation for trust. I am
confident that, this grand event will further foster the promotion of judo in our
country. Currently, judo is one of the popular sports disciplines in Azerbaijan and
promoted across all regions of our country. Our goal is to increase the results
our athletes in judo.

Of course, also the fact that the world championship held the in Baku overlaps
with a start of the Olympic qualifications and provides the high license points for
the XXXII Summer Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020, in turn, increase
the importance and interest to this prestigious event.

I am confident that, World Judo Championship will become a sports feast for
fans. Azerbaijani fans will have the chance to watch a live performance of the
world’s strongest judokas on the tatami. I do not have any doubt that, all the
participants of the Baku World Judo Championships regardless of the results
they will achieve in this great sporting event, will leave Azerbaijan with positive
impressions and unforgettable memories about our country and people.

In the end, I wish all of your memorable moments, strong competition and
success.

Rovnag Abdullayev
