Both Members and Observers are invited to participate.

Here you’ll find the Framework, the Tournament Format and the Ruleset for the IFHEMA Cup25.

Please note the following:

The 2025 edition of the IFHEMA Cup will deal with longsword only.
Each team consists of 3 principal fencers + 1 substitute + 1 mandatory non-fighting judge (5p in total)

Teams will be mixed (for details, see the Format document)

Team subscription will take place in two phases:

  1. A basic subscription by which each Federation confirms its intention to participate and to compose a team fulfilling the requirements. An advance payment of 100€ will have to be made to confirm the participation.
  1. A full subscription with the names of the fencing team, the team captain and the mandatory judge. Deadline for full subscription is June, 15th, 2025. Payment of the full subscription fee will be due by that date.

The links for both registration forms (phase 1 and 2) with payment details will be sent by email to the Delegates and Observers.

Note that a maximum of fourteen teams can be accommodated for. Subscriptions will be dealt with on a first come, first serve basis. In case the total number of participants exceeds 14, then Members will get priority over Observers.

The subscription fee per team to be paid by the member federation, is 300€.

The money of the fees will be used for:

  • Paying the tournament accommodation (hall)
  • Paying materials, refreshments and security

·          Paying a compensation fee of 100€ per participating judge, and we insist on compensating them at least partially for their efforts.

Practical information regarding your stay will be provided on the IFHEMA Cup page on this website over the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
