# 2022 Judo Grand Prix Almada

The 2022 Judo Grand Prix Almada was held in Almada, Portugal, from 28 to 30 January 2022.
It was the first time that Portugal was the stage for a world tour event. This tournament will be repeated annually until at least 2024.
As the qualification for the Olympic Games in Paris lasts for only two years, this tournament had no impact on the ranking for the Olympic Games.
