Tenerife Hosts Judo and Table Tennis Finals Before Summer Break
The Cabildo of Tenerife is hosting two major sporting events this weekend, June 27 and June 28, to conclude its current cycle of promotional sports activities before the summer break. The schedule includes the XXXIX Juegos Cabildo judo finals in Güímar and a session of the Juegos Máster table tennis tournament in Los Realejos, both of which offer free participation for local athletes.
The Juegos Máster program, which includes 17 different athletic disciplines, spans 40 scheduled event days throughout the year before pausing during the summer months to accommodate family schedules.
Judo Finals at Güímar
On Saturday, June 27, the Pabellón Quique Ruiz de Tasagaya in Güímar will serve as the venue for the final judo competitions of the XXXIX Juegos Cabildo. According to the Cabildo’s Department of Sports, the event is set to begin at 9:00 a.m. and will feature approximately 250 athletes from the alevín and infantil categories.
This competition is the result of a collaborative effort between the Cabildo’s Sports Service and the Federación Tinerfeña de Judo y Deportes Asociados. Organizers confirmed that the event is supported by local municipalities and various judo clubs from across the island.
Samantha Carter notes that these events serve a dual purpose: they act as a competitive culmination for youth athletes while functioning as a community-building initiative. By scheduling these finals immediately before the school holidays, the Cabildo manages to maintain athlete engagement and provide a structured conclusion to the sporting calendar before the mid-year hiatus.
Table Tennis in Los Realejos
The focus shifts on Sunday, June 28, to the Pabellón Basilio Labrador in Los Realejos for the ninth edition of the Juegos Máster. The table tennis session starts at 10:00 a.m. and is open to both men and women competing in individual and doubles formats.
The Federación Insular de Tenis de Mesa de Tenerife is managing the technical aspects of the tournament. Organizers have established a clear distinction between participants, separating those with official federative licenses from those competing in the island-wide and amateur categories.
What May Happen Next
Following this weekend’s activities, the Cabildo’s sports programs are expected to enter a temporary suspension during July and August. This pause is intended to facilitate family reconciliation during the summer months. According to the Department of Sports, the Juegos Máster are likely to resume in September with a new series of initiatives specifically targeted at participants over the age of 30.
