EFC Belgrade - Belgrade Open
In 2021 the Belgrade Fair hosted the event - a large complex of event halls next to the Sava river on the outskirts of the city.

A Look Back At Epee Fencing in 2023
As 2023 comes to an end, I thought it would be interesting to looks at some of the key stats from the last 12 months.
