SAVE THE DATE: WORLD FENCING DAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2022

Fencers around the world will celebrate World Fencing Day on September 10th, 2022. Here are some of the ways in which you and your club can be involved!

The FIE has announced the date for World Fencing Day 2022: Saturday, September 10. Here is their announcement about the day:

“World Fencing Day 2022, celebrated this year on Saturday, September 10, gives fencers and everyone in the global fencing family an opportunity to reach people and communities with the message “Fencing is for Life”.

With timeless and enduring qualities, fencing fills the heart, mind and soul with a positive and powerful energy people discover to be forever motivational and illuminating.

Fencing becomes a natural and essential part of your personal identity, which gives you strength and shapes your life and future.

Each person, whatever his/her age or role, makes a difference in others’ lives by introducing them to fencing and sharing this perennial sport with the community and the world, in any way it can be experienced.

Fencing is a sport for all ages, from youth to veteran, and World Fencing Day engages volunteers, fans, athletes, parents, officials, coaches and referees to send an inspiring message to the world.”
