Judo•

After winning in 2024 and 2025, Paris Saint-Germain Judo have just claimed the Champions League title for the third year running, this Saturday 24 October at home at the Dojo de Paris. By defeating Red Star Belgrade in the final, the Rouge et Bleu have achieved a historic hat-trick and cemented their status as one of Europe’s leading judo clubs. Unbeaten since the first edition in the mixed format in 2024, the club continues its perfect record in the competition.

Led by a squad of 17 judokas, combining experience at the highest international level with youthful talent, Paris Saint-Germain Judo once again demonstrated its strength by retaining its European title.

In the final, the Parisians beat Red Star Belgrade (4–3), thanks to victories by Joan-Benjamin Gaba (-73 kg), Romane Dicko (+70 kg) and Shirlen Nascimento (-57 kg). Joan-Benjamin Gaba sealed the title for PSG by winning the decisive bout. The victory was celebrated in the presence of Teddy Riner, who had come to support his team-mates, and shared with the young members of Paris Saint-Germain Judo and 50 children benefiting from the PSG for Communities programmes. The day brought the Parisian family together in support of its judo team and gave young people from the Île-de-France region the chance to experience this major European event.

Earlier in the day, the Rouge & Bleu, coached by Baptiste Leroy, first got the better of Judo Club Konar in the quarter-finals, thanks to performances from Brazil’s Shirlen Nascimento (-57 kg), Dayyan Boulemtafes (-73 kg), Romane Dicko (+70 kg) and then Manon Deketer (-70 kg) in the decisive bout. They then dominated SGS Judo in the semi-final, with points secured in succession by Clarisse Carillon (-57 kg), Dayyan Boulemtafes (-73 kg), Manon Deketer (-70 kg) and then Zelim Tckaev (-90 kg), to continue their run towards the title.

“Winning the Champions League for the third year running is a remarkable achievement. This historic treble is a testament to the hard work, commitment and team spirit of a squad that rose to the occasion at the crucial moments. I would like to congratulate our judokas and the entire coaching staff for their dedication and high standards on a daily basis. The strength of this group lies in its ability to bring together experienced athletes and young talents around a shared ambition. This latest European title confirms the strength of our sporting project and our determination to make Paris Saint-Germain Judo a lasting reference on the international stage.”
Djamel Bouras, Paris Saint-Germain Judo President

“This third consecutive Champions League victory is a source of immense pride for the entire Paris Saint-Germain family. I would like to offer my warmest congratulations to our judokas, their coaches and all the teams who support them on a daily basis. These champions have once again demonstrated that Paris Saint-Germain is one big sporting family, united by the same passion and the same commitment to excellence. Well done to everyone for once again flying the flag for our club on the European stage!”
