The World Jiu-Jitsu Championship is scheduled from 28th October until 07th November.

With Abu Dhabi hosting one of the largest tournaments on the Asian agenda, it confirms the emirate’s capability in organising large-scale events of world-class stature, the UAEJJF said. Mubarak Al Menhali, Director of Technical Department, UAEJJF, said the championship is one of the most important events on the international Jiu-Jitsu calendar. Featuring a host of athletes from around the world, the championship brings several jiu-jitsu stars who are eager to showcase their skills and competencies, he added.
Ninety-six jiu-jitsu stars will take to the mats amid strict precautionary and preventive measures, in accordance with the health protocol approved by the UAEJJF and the local health authorities.
The UAE has demonstrated unprecedented leadership at managing the global health crisis as the nation recently announced another milestone to become the world’s most vaccinated country.
