H.E. Ahmed Juma Al Hosani, Member of the UAE Wrestling, Judo ’&’ Jiu Jitsu Federation, reviewed with Mr. Marius L. Vizer, President of International Judo Federation in Paris details of the UAE electronic project regarding the design of modern Judo game which will be played on the Internet. The meeting was held on the sideline of Paris Judo Grand Prix 2010 and was attended by a number of officials and presidents of International Judo federations from France, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Japan. It comes as a response to the invitation of International Judo Federation to discuss UAE project that was reviewed during "Abu Dhabi Judo Grand Prix," which was held in Abu Dhabi. Al Hosani, during the meeting, presented a complete vision of the UAE electronic project referring to the distinction of the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi to host many global sports events. He also predicted 20 million players to share the game, pointing out that a permanent headquarters for Judo will be established in Abu Dhabi, while a study is now underway for establishment of an electronic International Federation of Judo. An economic study confirmed that the project is supposed to exceed USD 400 million annually during the first five years, especially as all categories of societies in different countries of the world will be able to participate in the tournament without the need for any proceedings, except registration via the online tournament and then download the game on a personal computer and participation in the World Championship. It should be mentioned that winners will receive cash prizes worth up to one million US dollars in addition to trophies and medals. The world e-Judo Championship winner and the top ten runners up will be crowned in a formal ceremony to be sponsored by International Judo Federation and will be held in Abu Dhabi.
