Indian Fencing League: The Fencing Association of India (FAI) is planning to launch the country’s first-ever auction-based Indian Fencing League to promote the overall development of the sport and provide elite athletes with a competitive platform.
Under the banner of "One Sport, One League, One Nation", the FAI has officially launched its Expression of Interest (EOI) phase, presenting an opportunity for individuals, corporations, and institutions to secure franchise ownership and help shape the league’s foundational chapter. The last date to submit an EOI is May 30, 2026.
The franchise-based competition is initially to be conducted in the Senior Men's category in all three events (Epee, Foil, and Sabre) on the FAI rules.
