Dear sirs/Madam,

I am directed by the Hon'ble Administrator JFI, to inform you that JFI is getting individual requests from Judokas for participation in the International Judo events at their Own Cost, and the JFI has revised the policy for the subject matter w.e.f 1st April 2024, with the following rules and regulations.

 

After going through the rules and regulations of the events as well as the selection criteria for identifying players / coaches for the International participation, the JFI has determined to lay down following mandatory conditions which all the judokas who want to participate in future international events at their own cost are directed to follow:

 

1] The participation of the Judokas, who are in the Top - 4 of the latest National Ranking / Selection Trials, in the International events must be recommended by the Selection Committee and the JFI Advisory Committee.

 

2] The Judoka must have to apply for his/her participation in the identified events at least six weeks prior to the events.

 

3] The Judoka must furnish an NOC from a Qualified Coach stating that he will be taking all the responsibility of his/her conduct and the said Coach may also be liable for equal punishment for the misconduct of his/her player.

 

4] A Coach must be accompanied by the individual/team. In case a female only is applying for the International participation a female Coach must be accompanied with the athlete.

 

5] Since JFI is the authority to send the entries, hotel reservation, travel schedule etc., the Judoka/s and the Coach/es must deposit the required amount towards Hotel reservation in the JFI account on approval of their participation at their Own Cost. Or the Individual/s must be submitted an affidavit stating that they will make the payment to the Organisors as per the invoice/demand on arrival.

8] The participation will be subject to the NOC from the concerned Organisation/Department of the player/coach and also of the parents in case the judoka is minor.

 

9] The participation will also be subject to the approval of SAI/MYAS, Govt of India if it is mandatory. 

 

10] An amount of Rs.5,000/- ( Rupees Five thousand only ) needs to be deposited in the JFI Account for participating in each event towards the administrative expenses which shall be nonrefundable. This will be affected for all the events scheduled from 1st April 2024.

 

11] JFI will not be responsible for their Visa issues, however correspondence regarding visa support will be done by the JFI on completion of the required documents.
 

12] The application of the judoka along with the documents must be submitted through their respective State Judo Association / Departmental Units only. Individual requests will not be entertained.

 

The above conditions are mandatory and in case of non fulfilment of any of the above conditions the JFI shall reject the application without any notice/reply.

 

This is for your kind information.
