Australian Fencing

The AFF is delighted to announce that Italian fencing manufacturer Negrini Fencing Line has agreed to sponsor our Men's Foil Team by providing a set of equipment (mask, whites, bag etc) to each World Champs team member. Certain additional discounts on equipment purchases will also be made available. Negrini's support is a well deserved recognition of the gains made by our Men's Foil Team in recent years, and a reflection of the strong bonds between the Australian and Italian fencing communities. We welcome Negrini as a valued partner of Australian fencing!

The AFF and NSWFA are delighted to advise that registrations are now open for the 2017 Asian Cadet Circuit event for Boys & Girls Sabre, to be held in Sydney on 2 & 3 September 2017.

This event forms part of the inaugural Asian Cadet Circuit being introduced by the Fencing Confederation of Asia (FCA) in 2017. Further details of the event are provided in the online invitations (click here).

All Australian fencers who wish to compete in this event will need to obtain a FCA licence through the AFF - to purchase a licence, click here. To register to enter the event, click here. Standard registrations close on 25 August 2017.

Fencers who wish to participate in the team event should note that selections will be made in accordance with the AFF Selection Policy, which states that the team will be selected based on registrations received 30 days prior to the event (ie by 2 August 2017). For this purpose, the Asian Cadet Circuit will be treated as a Category E event.

Registrations are now open for the third Australian Fencing Circuit event of 2017 - AFC#3, incorporating the Australian Under 23 Sabre Championships. 

This event will be held at the NSW State Fencing Centre in Sydney from 25 to 28 August 2017.

A preliminary timetable is attached which shows the date and starting time slot (morning or afternoon) for each event - the specific starting times for each event will be published one week before the competition, following the close of standard registrations. This approach is being trialled in an effort to ensure the most efficient use of piste space and reduce waiting time between events.  

Before registering, Australian fencers should make sure their home State affiliation is complete and paid up. Late registration fees apply from 12 August 2017, so be sure to register early! 

To register for entry (both local and overseas fencers), click here.
