World Wide Network

The International Fencer Council works with The U.S. Youth Fencing World Wide Exchange Programs to connect fencers in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Why We Are Here

There are extremely limited opportunities for U.S. fencers to train with and against athletes from around the world in the Cadet (under 17 years of age), and Junior (under 19 years of age) divisions. International fencing associations only allow the top tier athletes to travel and compete. the IFC brings this opportunity to the other 98% of U.S. Fencers. This will allow for more fencers to develop their skill level in order to win internationally
