Deaflympics

ICSD President Ádám Kósa welcomed Mr. Kimura Tetsuya, Ambassador of Japan to Hungary, at the ICSD office in Budapest.

With a background in Japanese sports management, Ambassador Kimura expressed great interest in ICSD's work, future plans, and our reflection on the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics.

ICSD looks back on the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics with great satisfaction, a truly exceptional Games and looks forward to continued cooperation with Japan in the field of Deaf sport.

Long live Deaf sport!

ICSD President Ádám Kósa met with Lisa Allan, Secretary-General of the International Judo Federation (IJF), to discuss the inclusion of judo in Deaf sport at the highest international level.

Our shared goal: to organize judo competitions at the Athens 2029 Deaflympics fully in line with IJF standards, regulations, and expectations — giving Deaf athletes the platform they deserve.

Thank you, Lisa, for the warm hospitality and the in-depth coordination. We're excited about what's ahead and look forward to future cooperation!
