IFHEMA Cup 2025
Dear fencers, the IFHEMA Cup25 will take place in ATHENS, and it will be curated by the Greek HEMA federation, which has an excellent reputation when it comes to organizing competitive events.
The provisional date is September, 13th, 2025 (this will be confirmed after New Year). The venue is the Municipal Sports Center of Agia Paraskevi:

It will be a one-day event. For this edition, we focus on longsword only.
The Framework worked out with the German Federation in 2020 and adopted by the General Assembly in 2022 (GA09), remains in full force and effect. That means that we work with country teams, not individual subscriptions. Teams will be mixed. Fencers will be able to opt in or out for mixed bouts. Technical quality of bouts will be taken into account for the overall result (a college of Marshalls – reputed fencers invited especially for this occasion – will take care of that). Teams will include at least one non-fighting jury member. The specific format and Ruleset will be communicated after New Year 2025.
A simple google-based administration for subscriptions will be set up (more news follows soon). We are thinking of setting up a communications channel dedicated to the IFHEMA Cup, maybe a Discord, but we would welcome help to do so.
More details, and a centralized communication point, are now being set up, and will be communicated after New Year. A specific subscription document will be sent out to all members and observers as well. We will take care of helping find you as affordable accommodation as possible.
We hope to welcome all your teams giving the best of what they have on that occasion!
