==History==
The Norwegian Judo Federation was founded in 1967.{{Ciation needed|date=July 2024}}
Three Norwegian Judokas have participated at the [[Judo at the 1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Summer Olympics]].
One Norwegian Judoka has participated at the [[Judo at the 1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Summer Olympics]].
In 2002 the Norwegian Judo Federation started training [[Afghan people|Afghan]] [[judoka]]s under an exchange program with the [[Afghan Judo Federation]] established that year with the federation slogan "Judo for Peace". What began as a modest effort took on a big scale as increasingly more Afghan children and teenagers enrolled in the training program, the demand rising further. The project's objective also included giving priority to the underprivileged girls and women of [[Afghanistan]], who showed equal interest and enthusiasm to their male counterparts. The result was a historic first: [[Fariba Rezayee]] became the first ever Afghan female to participate in an [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] competition (in 2004).<ref name="Norway">{{cite web |title=The Norwegian Judo Federation is fighting for peace |url=http://www.judo.no/index.php?id=20050908110159&news_id=200506011249 |accessdate=1 June 2013 |publisher=Norges Judoforbund |archive-date=3 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203005322/http://www.judo.no/index.php?id=20050908110159&news_id=200506011249 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
