United in the Spirit of the Season

As the year draws to a close, the European Fencing Confederation would like to extend its warmest wishes to the entire fencing community. Christmas is a special moment of reflection, gratitude and togetherness, a time to pause, look back at the journey we have shared, and appreciate the people who make our sport so unique.

Thank You for an Inspiring Year

The past year has once again shown the strength, passion and unity of European fencing. From young talents taking their first steps on the international piste to experienced athletes pushing the limits at the highest level, every competition, training camp and event has contributed to the growth of our sport. Coaches, referees, organisers, volunteers, clubs and national federations have all played a vital role in making this season meaningful and successful.

Looking Ahead to the New Year

As we approach the New Year, we look forward with confidence and optimism. New challenges, new goals and new opportunities await us, and we are certain that the European fencing family will continue to move forward together — with respect, ambition and a shared love for fencing.

The European Fencing Confederation wishes you and your loved ones a peaceful Catholic Christmas and a New Year filled with health, success and inspiration. May 2026 bring strong performances, fair competition and many unforgettable moments on and off the piste.
