Welsh Fencing Articles
Athlete Development Programme
WF are pleased to introduce the ADP Cymru - an Athlete Development Programme focussed on the needs of Welsh fencers. We want to create a fencing organisation that the people of Wales can be proud to represent, support and aspire to be part of; creating a group that exhibits the best standards of personal character but also excels in technical, physical and tactical competence. Follow the link for more details on this programme.
Commonwealths
The primary function of the Commonwealth Fencing Federation is to encourage the development of Fencing within Commonwealth countries and territories. Membership is open to national governing bodies of fencing in Commonwealth countries and territories. One of the CFF's key roles is to arrange for the regular staging of Commonwealth Fencing Championships. Events are run at Senior, Cadet & Junior, and Veteran age groups.
Urdd Partnership
Welsh Fencing are pleased to announce a new partnership with The Urdd (Urdd Gobaith Cymru). For full details, please follow the link: Read More
Welsh Open
The Welsh Open is a 6 Weapon event that has now been running for over 50 years. It is still a major event on the tournament circuit, and attracts a large number of fencers.
We have a dedicated website that includes full details of the event, plus links to archive results.
teamo
teamo is a communications platform, used to support team selection and communication. The platform is app-based, and allows parents to register their children. It is fully GDPR-compliant and allows parents to see any comms and invitations directed to their children, and respond on their behalf. It reduces the need for emails, which are difficult to track, and often missed because they end up in Junk folders.
Selection Policies
Are you eligible to fence for Wales? That's in here. As well as selection criteria across each of our age categories (Youth, Cadet, Junior, Senior and Veteran), and across each of the events types (Commonwealth, National and Regional).
Welsh Club Network
Here you will find details of the Club network in Wales. The details are taken from Sport80, and will give you up-to-date contact information for all clubs in Wales.
Online Shop
We have worked with a local supplier, Olorun Sports, to design a bespoke set of kit that reflects the Welsh national colours of green and red. The aim is to give all members a clearer identity as Welsh fencers.
Governance
Everything related to Corporate Governance. Here you will find our Articles, which define how we manage the business. You will also find all the AGM minutes since incorporation, plus details of the upcoming AGM.
Welsh Event Calendar

Anti-doping is an important part of all National Governing Body’s responsibility.
