One sport. One world. One family. This year’s World Fencing Day isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s a call to every fencer, fan, and dreamer to celebrate the sport that unites us all. Whether you pick up the sabre, epee or foil on the piste or carry its spirit in your everyday life, September 13 is the day we come together to show the world what fencing truly means.
Fencing: One Sport, One World, One Family
The FIE (International Fencing Federation) has been celebrating World Fencing Day since 2017, marking it every year on the second Saturday of September. The idea behind the initiative is simple but powerful: to open the world of fencing beyond competition halls and make it visible as a community, a culture, and a family. Each year the FIE chooses a theme that reflects the values of the sport—unity, respect, education, inclusion—and invites fencers, clubs, and fans worldwide to join in through creative content, local events, and social media campaigns. The ultimate goal is to show that fencing is more than just a sport: it’s a global bond that connects people across generations and borders.
Global Video Contest
This year, the FIE is taking World Fencing Day a step further with a global video contest designed to showcase the creativity and passion of the fencing community. Both individual fencers and national federations are invited to take part by creating short videos that highlight the 2025 theme “Fencing: One Sport, One World, One Family.” Submissions can be in any format, but they must clearly incorporate World Fencing Day elements and be shared across social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or X, where reach and engagement will also count toward the final judgment. The deadline to submit entries is September 14, 2025, and the stakes are high: individuals can win cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000, or $1,000, while the top three federation entries will each receive $3,000. It’s a chance not just to celebrate the sport, but to make your voice—and your vision—seen worldwide.
