LAUSANNE, Switz., Sept. 10, 2025 – The International Fencing Federation has introduced its 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, which presents a three-year roadmap to further develop, evolve and inspire fencing as a modern, fair and attractive Olympic and global sport. The plan emphasizes technological integration, athlete engagement, safeguarding, gender equality, education and sustainability in partnership and cooperation with the International Olympic Committee, ASOIF, national federations and other key organisations. Its intent is that by 2028, the FIE will become a worldwide model in international sports federations and be recognised as benchmarking institutional excellence, competitive fairness and global fan engagement.
The plan lays the foundation of a mission, vision and set of core values intended to elevate fencing based on effective governance, enthusiastic athlete support and promotion permeated by adherence to Olympic values and an innovative and contemporary culture driven by organisational excellence. Five key goals in the plan outline specific tactical elements with defined deadlines that fit within an achievable implementation framework. These goals will be measured throughout the three-year period by key success indicators as the organisation meets those deadlines, overseen by the FIE Executive Committee with hands-on, thoughtful and deeply committed management dedicated to the long-term success of one of the original Olympic sports.
