Tournament background.
History of the competition began in 2007, when by the initiative of the International Judo Fund and National Veteran Judo Union the Team Judo Tournament among law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation was held for the first time, dedicated to the memory of officers killed in the line of duty. Unusual tournament format caused great public reaction. Due to the high interest of the global sports community in the event, in 2010 European Judo Union awarded the judo competitions status of an International Tournament. In 2012 the competitions were first held in the "Judo Academy" in Zvenigorod.
Over the 7 years of the tournament thanks to a brilliant physical fitness the RF MIA team has become an absolute leader that never ceded the title. In 2013 Russian police won 3-2 over the ancestors of judo - the Japanese team, the bronze medals were awarded to both the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus and the Internal Troops of RF MIA.
Every year the geography of the countries participating in the tournament is expanding, the Tournament has become one of the key international events in the field of security structure sports.
