The 2024 European Cadets and Juniors Fencing Championships were held in Naples, Italy from 22 to 29 February 2024. The event featured individual and team competitions across all three weapons — épée, foil, and sabre — for both sexes in both cadet (U17) and junior (U20) categories. It was organized under the auspices of the European Fencing Confederation (EFC) and hosted at the Mostra d'Oltremare exhibition center.[1]
Background
The European Cadets and Juniors Championships serve as a key developmental milestone for young fencers across Europe. Many participants go on to compete at senior European Championships and Olympic Games.[2] Naples was selected as the host city due to its strong fencing tradition and infrastructure, with the Mostra d'Oltremare providing a multi-piste venue suitable for large-scale international events.
Schedule
The competition was divided into two segments:
- Cadets: 22–25 February 2024
- Juniors: 26–29 February 2024
The opening ceremony took place on 22 February at 18:30 local time.[1]
Participating nations
Over 40 national federations affiliated with the EFC sent delegations to the championships. Each country was allowed to enter up to four athletes per individual event and one team per weapon category. Fencers from Russia and Belarus were able to enter as individual neutral athletes.
Notable performances
Several athletes distinguished themselves with double podium finishes in both individual and team events. The Italian delegation topped the overall medal table, continuing their dominance in youth fencing.[3]
