FOR THE FUTURE OF FENCING

There is hope for a better future in fencing. 

During the FIE congress in December 2008, a new president was elected, 

the founder of ICF “For the Future of Fencing”, Mr. Alisher Usmanov. He 

is a person who sincerely loves fencing, and puts all his effort into the 

development of this sport. 

A clear example of this is the work of ICF in all the continents.

Since 2005, the main objective of ICF is to support all the National Fencing 

Federations worldwide, which has been accomplished with success .

This year was no exception.  All the events with the participation of ICF 

during 2009 were carried out with the help of FIE, and without a doubt, 

the realization of all the International Seminars and Camps of the highest 

level, are the result of the hard work of ICF “For the Future of Fencing” in 

conjunction with FIE.

With the African Fencing Confederation invitation, the president 

of ICF “For the Future of Fencing” Mr. Vitaly Logvin participated 

in  the  African  Fencing  Championship,  and  memorial  for              

Mr. Barkaba.

For the first time, this championship took place in Senegal, with 

a good organization from the African Fencing Confederation, 

with help from the International Fencing Federation (FIE).  In 

this event, for the first time in history, 14 countries participated, 

being a record for the continent.



Dakar, 06/08 - 10/08

Fencers in a duel.

Many African  countries  participated  for  the  first  time  in  the 

African  Fencing  Championship,  thanking  FIE  and  the African 

Fencing Confederation for this great opportunity.

At  this  moment,  African  fencing  is  at  the  first  stage  in  the 

process of its development.

During  the  closing  ceremony  of  the 

seminar, and as a part of the philanthropy 

program for the National Federations of 

the African continent, ICF sent to Dakar 

100  sets  of  fencing  material.  This  is  a 

total of 100 suits, 100 masks, 100 electric 

epee, 100 electric cords, 100 gloves. This 

was  divided  in  20  jumbo  fencing  bags, 

with 5 sets in each bag. Each one of the 

representatives  of  the  National  Fencing 

Federations  received  5  sets  of  fencing 

material from ICF and FIE. 

This ICF initiative in conjunction with FIE, 

gave  the  African  National  Federations 

the possibility of increasing the amount 

of athletes in their fencing clubs.

During  his  visit,  Mr.  Vitaly  Logvin  had 

a  meeting  with  the  Minister  of  Youth, 

Sports,  &  Recreation,  Mr.  Mamadou 

Lamine Keita. In this meeting, they talked 

some  issues  about  the  development  of 

fencing in the African continent. Another 

important  aspect  of  this  meeting  was 

the  discussion  of  a  future  project  for 

the  existence  of  a  professional  fencing 

preparation in a major level. 

In  this  meeting,  Mr.  Logvin  presented    

Mr. Lamine 20 fencing suits for trainers, 

which  were  given  later  to  the  national 

fencing federations of Africa.

This  continent  has  an  enormous 

potential  to  create  world  class  athletes 

just  as  Olympic  medal  winners.  With 

the  development  programs  of  FIE  and 

ICF,  and  the  active  and  permanent 

participation  of  the  African  Fencing 

Confederation, there is a great possibility 

of reaching this objective.

complete electronic score machines and three metallic strips, as well as the video

had the opportunity to accomplish a very well organized Championship, respecting 

the regulations of FIE. This championship had the participation of 18 countries from 

the American continent.

low  budget,  the  ICF  in  conjunction  with  FIE  organized  three  International  Camps 

in Iceland, Luxembourg and the Czech Republic, where 176 representative athletes 

from 27 National Federations from all continents were invited. The events in Iceland 

and Luxembourg had a very special program. At the end of the camps, the athletes 

had  the  fantastic  chance  to  participate  immediately  in  important  events  as World 

Championships and the Viking Cup.

284 athletes and coaches from 81 National Fencing Federations had the chance to
