Which Judoka will be Representing Scotland at the Games?
The number of judo places for Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will be allocated by Commonwealth Games Scotland. Athletes meeting the eligibility criteria and nomination standards will be considered for selection.
The eligibility criteria for representing Team Scotland are outlined in the General Selection Policy and Standards document, which can be found on the Commonwealth Games Scotland website. Any athletes with questions about their eligibility should contact JudoScotland for support.

The selection period will run from 1st May 2025 to 31st May 2026, and the JudoScotland selection panel will assess athletes based on these standards. The final decision on nominations will be made by Commonwealth Games Scotland in early June 2026.
