“The progress at the Combat Center—where we will begin with Judo and then continue with Taekwondo—is about 90% complete. We only have minor details left before we can hand over the venue to the sports. The Judo tatami has already been installed, and the work team continues working to finalize all logistical aspects.”

The dimensions of the judo tatami are 14×19, and the Combat Center has a capacity of 300 people.
