President of Absolute Fencing, Gary Lu, expressed his satisfaction with the progress made by the NFF and their dedication to advancing the sport in Nigeria.


He added, “As part of our commitment to supporting the growth of fencing across Africa, we are proud to donate these fencing pistes to the Nigerian Fencing Federation for the upcoming 2024 Junior Men’s Epee World Cup in December.”


The President of the Nigerian Fencing Federation, Adeyinka Samuel, noted that the support from Absolute Fencing would motivate them to ensure a successful tournament. He also called on corporate bodies and individuals to support the Federation’s efforts to elevate Nigeria’s status in the global fencing community.


“Nigeria has successfully hosted several major international tournaments over the years, establishing itself as the frontrunner in Sub-Saharan Africa. 


Currently, Nigeria is the only Sub-Saharan country with the right to host a Fencing World Cup. 


This donation is a testament to the international recognition of our achievements in developing the sport, particularly as fencing pistes are the most expensive equipment in the sport. 


We now call on local organizations to support and partner with us as Nigeria continues to host these historic events,” Samuel said.


The Junior Epee World Cup in December is sanctioned by the Switzerland-based International Fencing Federation (FIE).
