On 21 May 2007, during a meeting between the 2009 Games Organizing Committee ({{langx|pt|Comité Organizador dos Jogos da Lusofonia 2009}}, COJOL) and the ACOLOP (Associação dos Comités de Língua Oficial Portuguesa, {{langx|en|Association of the Portuguese-Speaking Committees}}), a decision on which should be the ninth sport to be included in the competition program—out of a list that included badminton, canoeing, judo, swimming, and roller hockey — was delayed due to insufficient survey data from some of the ACOLOP member committees.{{cite news |url=http://www.rtp.pt/index.php?article=282597&visual=16 |title=Jogos Lusofonia – Organização de Lisboa2009 adia decisão sobre a modalide a incluir no programa |author=Agência Lusa |publisher=RTP |date=21 May 2007 |accessdate=21 May 2007 |language=Portuguese |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924114503/http://www.rtp.pt/index.php?article=282597&visual=16 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead }} Later that year, on 12 November the ACOLOP general assembly, gathered in Lisbon, finally decided to add judo to the official program.
This edition thus featured nine sports—one more than in the inaugural games in 2006 — comprising 65 events. Three events for disabled athletes were included in the athletics competition, for a total of 68.{{cite web|url=http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=446 |title=Sports |publisher=Organizing Committee for the 2009 Lusophony Games (COJOL) |accessdate=26 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090624045032/http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid%3D446 |archivedate=24 June 2009 }} One of those disabled athletics events is of demonstration nature and is not included in the medal ranking.

=Symbols=
The image and identity of the Lisbon 2009 Lusophony Games were conveyed by its official logo and mascot.
The logo represents an "athlete, celebrating victory with a multicoloured ribbon, following the motto 'Union stronger than Victory', in an appeal to fair-play and unity between the athletes".{{cite web |url=http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=67 |title=Logo |publisher=Organizing Committee for the 2009 Lusophone Games (COJOL) |accessdate=31 October 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080803120459/http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=67 |archivedate=3 August 2008 |url-status=dead }}
The mascot, representing a youthful humanized flame, is called "Xama" (after "chama", "flame" in English) and embodies the spirit of sport, the athlete's desire to surpass own limits, the "energy and vivacity" that give "body and soul in every heat".{{cite web|url=http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=440 |title=Mascot |publisher=Organizing Committee for the 2009 Lusophone Games (COJOL) |accessdate=31 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090624054002/http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid%3D440 |archivedate=24 June 2009 }}
