The International Fencing Federation will elect a President, the Executive Committee and Commissions when its member federations convene in Moscow on November 27 for the FIE’s 95th annual Congress. The Councils will be nominated by the Executive Committee in its meeting after Congress.

The President, Executive Committee and members of the commissions and Councils will serve a four-year term, in line with the Olympic cycle.

Congress will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, not far from Red Square and the Kremlin. The days either side of Congress will see the final meeting of the sitting Executive Committee and the first meeting of the newly elected Executive Committee.

The role of Congress is to establish, control and steer the general policy of the FIE. It determines the modifications to be made to the Statutes and the Rules for the competitions.

Each year Congress receives reports on the management of the Executive Committee and on the operational and financial situation of the Federation, the report on the accounts for the financial year that has ended and the report of the auditors.
