Nominations open for 2018 Asian Veterans Championships

Nominations are now open for fencers who wish to be selected to participate in the 4th Asian Veterans Championships, to be held in Wakayama, Japan from 1 to 4 September 2018.

This event is open to male fencers born in 1977 or earlier, and to female fencers born in 1982 or earlier. For further details of the competition format and schedule, see the information sheet on the AFF website – click here.

There is no limit on individual entries and each country can enter two teams in each gender / weapon category (teams must satisfy a minimum aggregate age requirement). Countries who attended this event in past years include Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taipei and Iran.

While the AFF will be running an organised tour for this event, we will be seeking to do so in a way which minimises the costs for the fencers involved. Fencers will be required to organise their own travel and accommodation.
