Around 450 young judokas will compete this Saturday in Rincón de la Victoria

Rincón de la Victoria will once again become one of the major meeting points for Málaga's judo community this weekend with the celebration of the IV Interclub Judo Meeting 2026, a sports event that will bring together about 450 young athletes from various municipalities of the province.

The championship will take place this Saturday, May 16, at the Municipal Covered Pavilion Rubén Ruzafa de Torre de Benagalbón, from 09:30 to 15:00, with free entry for the public.

The competition will feature participants aged between 3 and 15 years old, who will compete in various categories: pre-benjamin, benjamin, alevin, and infant. The format of the tournament will consist of matches organized in groups of four judokas, allowing the young athletes to demonstrate on the tatami the techniques and skills they have learned during the season.

In addition to its competitive nature, the event seeks to promote values such as teamwork, respect, and coexistence among clubs and sports schools throughout the province of Málaga.

Among the participants will be students from the Municipal Judo School of Rincón de la Victoria, managed through the Club Judo Arias, as well as athletes from other clubs and schools in Málaga.

The school in Rincón currently has about 140 students and is now in its fifth year of activity in the municipality. Classes are held in the Rubén Ruzafa pavilion itself and feature the collaboration of Olympic medalist and world champion Asley González, a member of the teaching team.

The event will once again position Rincón de la Victoria as one of the benchmarks for grassroots sports in the province, in a day where judo and coexistence will be the main protagonists.
