LAUSANNE, Switz, Sept. 1, 2024 – 2024 has been a spectacular year for world fencing, especially with the spectacular Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The FIE wants to help the global fencing family build on the success of fencing with the 2024 World Fencing Day, which takes place this year on Saturday, September 14. This annual event gives member federations the opportunity to reach and share fencing with people and communities in your regions and share our amazing sport with the world!
The FIE 2024 World Fencing Day theme is “We Welcome the World to Fencing”, and we are providing you this resource kit to help you celebrate and engage with people to get them interested in, participate and get excited about fencing. Contained in this World Fencing Day Resource Kit (click here) are the following:
- Posters you can print or use on social media, to which you can customize and add your own local information (such as a location where you will have a fencing demonstration, celebration, or “try fencing” event)
- Banners and graphics to use on all marketing platforms you may have
- Selfie frames you can use to create cardboard cutouts for social media
- Please share these graphics with your clubs, schools, coaches and fencers!
We want you to plan events for World Fencing Day and then send us videos, photos and stories about the results (*please send videos, images, and other materials via email to zhen.ma@fie.ch), which we will share on our FIE social media platforms. The FIE has a very large social media following, and this will give fencing in your area a lot of global attention!
We also encourage everyone to actively engage with the FIE on social media. When publishing related content, please tag FIE social media accounts (check the handles below) and use the hashtag #WorldFencingDay2024.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need our support!
