The Judo Federation of India (JFI) is the national sports federation for judo in India.[5] The JFI was established in 1965, and received affiliation from the International Judo Federation during the same year. The JFI organized the first National Judo Championship at Hyderabad in 1966. An Indian team participated in an international judo competition for the first time at the 1986 Asian Games in Seoul, which was also the first time judo was included as an event at the Asian Games. India won four bronze medals in its debut international judo tournament. Indian judokas have also participated at the Olympic Games.[2]
