New This Year

The 2025 Veteran World Championships mark an exciting new chapter in veteran fencing:

This World Championships will feature a Vet-40 division test event, giving more fencers than ever the chance to compete for world titles.
The event also debuts two separate team divisions:

Vet Team for athletes in the 40s and 50s age groups
Grand Vet Team for athletes in the 60s and 70s divisions

More events mean more opportunities for Team USA to climb the podium — and bring home even more medals. Let's go!
