The FIE has now approved the inclusion of fencing in the World Master Games in Sydney from 10 - 18 October, 2009.
Fencing will join almost 30 other sports at the event, and will be contested in four age groups (30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+ - as at 31 December 2009).
The Sydney venue to be used has not yet been confirmed, and the organisers will be posting updated information on their web site (www.2009worldmasters.com) in the coming weeks.
The last World Masters Games was held in Edmonton in 2005, but did not include fencing. The event was attended by over 30,000 athletes from almost 90 countries.
