Indian Fencing Squad Departs For Senior World Championships 2026 In Hong Kong
The nine-day flagship event will be held at the AsiaWorld-Expo venue. The Indian team consists of 12 men and 12 women athletes competing across all three fencing disciplines — Épée, Foil, and Sabre, in both individual and team formats. The contingent, supported by five national coaches and two physiotherapists, departed on Monday night.
The squad includes the country's top fencers minus Olympian CA Bhavani Devi, who is currently serving a suspension imposed by the sport's global governing body for being shown the Black Card for her behavior during the Team Event at the Asian Fencing Championships 2026, which took place in New Delhi.
