According to the Azerbaijan Judo Federation,a total of 587 judokas representing 71 clubs and sports organisations will compete in the two-day tournament.

The competition will feature 483 boys and 104 girls, with participants battling for honours across 16 weight categories.

The championship is expected to provide an important platform for young judokas to demonstrate their skills, gain valuable competitive experience and measure themselves against athletes from other clubs and sports organisations.
