The
Fencing Confederation of Asia (FCA) is the umbrella organization of all
national fencing associations in Asia. The FCA is recognized by the
Federation Internationale D’Escrime and the Olympic Council of
Asia as the governing body for the sport of fencing in Asia
As
much as practicable, FCA member national fencing associations meet annually
in General Assembly/Congress. The General Assembly/Congress held during
the Olympic year coincides with the election of Officers and Executive
Committee members of the AFC for the ensuing four-year term.
The
FCA organizes the Asian Fencing Championships, the Asian Juniors &
Cadet Fencing Championships and other such activities to promote and
develop the sport of fencing in Asia. In coordination with the International
Fencing Federation, the FCA also sanctions all other fencing competitions
and activities organized in Asia such as the World Championships, World
Cup, Category A and Grand Prix competitions, as well as the Coaches
and Referees’ Seminar and Examination. In coordination with the
Olympic Council of Asia and the FIE, the FCA also sanctions the fencing
competitions in the Asian Games.
The
objectives for which the FCA is established are:
(a)
To promote and develop the sport of fencing in Asia.
(b) To form and stimulate international opinion in favor of providing proper
and better fencing facilities in Asia.
(c) To organize, hold, and arrange competitions in fencing whether they be
regional or global in character and offer, grant, or contribute towards the
provision of prizes, awards, and distinctions.
(d) To organize, hold, and arrange coaching, presiding, and training courses
within Asia and where appropriate, in conjunction with the International Fencing
Federation (FIE).

national/territorial fencing bodies within the Region as well as the FIE.

national/territorial fencing bodies where necessary and possible.
(g) To approve and enforce uniform policies and rules for the encouragement
and regulation of the sport of fencing in Asia and to deal with any infringements
thereof; and to reconcile or arbitrate in differences which may arise among
national/territorial fencing bodies.
(h) To foster the spirit of the Olympic Movement that is friendship among
peoples by means of sport without any discrimination.
(i) To do all such other lawful things as are incidental or conducive to the
attainment of the above objects.
