JUDO ECC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE & EUROPA LEAGUE BELGRADE 2023 - RECAP // JUDOCAST

The European Club Championships - Champions League 2023 was held on 9 December in Belgrade (SRB).
On paper, the men from OJK BELGRADE went into the race as clear underdogs. In the end, they made history - with the first Champions League title for Serbia in judo history. Co-favourites Red Star Belgrade, who had already finished second twice and third twice, ultimately had to settle for bronze - as did the highly rated stars around Teddy Riner at Paris Saint-Germain.
The main reasons for the home team’s victory were runner-up European champion Darko BRASNJOVIC (-90) and the two Spanish legionnaires Alberto GAITERO MARTIN and Jorge CANO GARCIA.
