New This Year

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

  • This is the first-ever World Championships to feature the Vet-40 division, 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!
