FIE POSTPONES UPCOMING WORLD CUP EVENTS MARCH 2026

The FIE has postponed several March 2026 World Cup competitions due to global travel uncertainty.

The FIE Executive Committee has confirmed the postponement of the following events scheduled for early March 2026, in response to international travel disruption and the increasing likelihood that delegations may face cancelled flights or difficulty returning home:

  • Cairo (EGY) – Foil World Cups, 5–8 March 2026
  • Padua (ITA) – Men’s Sabre World Cup, 6–8 March 2026
  • Athens (GRE) – Women’s Sabre World Cup, 6–8 March 2026

The decision has been made with the safety & wellbeing of all participants at the forefront, ensuring that no delegation is disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control.

The FIE Executive Committee is continuing to monitor the situation daily and is working with event organisers to identify potential new dates.

BF will keep the community informed as soon as updates become available.
BF can also provide a letter confirming these details should you require evidence to support a travel insurance claim. Please contact [email protected].
