U14 Fencers Take the Stage in Shiltigheim and Tbilisi
While senior teams battle for continental glory in Heidenheim, the youngest talents will take their turn on the piste in two U14 events this weekend.
In Shiltigheim, France, boys and girls will compete in epee, continuing the rich French tradition of nurturing the next generation of fencers. At the same time, in Tbilisi, Georgia, young foilists will gather for the U14 Foil Circuit, showcasing the growing strength of youth fencing in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
Both tournaments are key steps for these aspiring athletes — a chance to gain international experience and dream of one day representing their clubs at the European Cup of Club Champions themselves.
A Weekend of Inspiration
From the elite club teams in Heidenheim to the promising U14 fencers in Shiltigheim and Tbilisi, this weekend once again illustrates the full spectrum of European fencing — where passion, teamwork, and ambition unite generations on the piste.
