Absolute Fencing Gear FIE Saber World Cup Coming to Salt Lake City in 2026

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Fencing is proud to announce that Absolute Fencing Gear will serve as the title sponsor of the FIE Senior Women’s and Men’s Saber World Cup in Salt Lake City — the international event returning to the U.S. in January 2026 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. 

Title sponsorship means the tournament will carry the Absolute Fencing name throughout event branding and communications. The official title of the event will be the Absolute Fencing Gear FIE Saber World Cup. 

The Title Sponsor designation in Salt Lake City continues a successful model fans saw at the 2024 Absolute Fencing Gear FIE Foil Grand Prix in Washington, D.C., where Absolute’s support helped bring the world’s best to a marquee U.S. stage. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome Absolute as title sponsor in Salt Lake City,” says Phil Andrews, USA Fencing CEO. “Absolute has been an essential partner for years — not only helping us bring world‑class events to the United States but also powering our domestic tournaments. This partnership will elevate the presentation and experience for athletes and fans as we host the world in Utah.”

As USA Fencing’s official equipment supplier through the Los Angeles 2028 cycle, Absolute provides the competition strips,  scoring machines, and various other components, seen across USA Fencing national events — and now brings that commitment to an FIE World Cup on home soil.
