New mask requirements – 2018/19 FIE season
August 8, 2018
Fencers who are considering entering international events are reminded that the new mask fastening requirements introduced by the FIE apply from the start of the 2018/19 FIE season (September 2018).
Fencers can purchase a new (compliant) mask or can arrange to have their existing mask retrofitted – however, retrofitting can only be carried out by suppliers who have been approved by the original equipment manufacturer. Further information (including a list of supplier approvals) is available here.
The new mask requirements will apply to AFC events from 1 January 2019.
