Inspire Institute of Sport Partners with MJA for Inter‑Club Judo Event

The Sangai Cup 2026 is being co‑hosted by the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) and the Manipur Judo Association (MJA). The collaboration aims to nurture judo at the grassroots level while delivering a robust selection platform for the National Championships.

IIS President Manisha Malhotra praised MJA as a crucial partner in regional judo development. She stated that continued support for the Sangai Cup enables athletes to compete for national team berths and promotes broader competitive opportunities for young judokas across the Northeast.

The tournament’s structure—spanning sub‑junior, cadet, junior and senior categories—ensures a comprehensive assessment of talent. Weigh‑ins start on Thursday, leading into three days of matches and culminating with a medal ceremony on Sunday.
