In 2013 the FIE has established the FIE Hall of Fame in order to celebrate the heroes of fencing, past and present, across the world and pay tribute to them for their exceptional performances and contribution to the sport of fencing throughout the century.

The FIE Hall of Fame consists of two parts:

• Athletes
• Fencing family

Since 2014, maximum 5 new members are part of the FIE Hall of fame (4 athletes members and 1 Fencing family member).

Maximum 2 persons per country (1 for athletes and 1 for the fencing family) can be included each year.

The nominations for the Athletes Hall of Fame can be done by the National Federation of the athletes who won the medals.

The nomination for the Fencing family Hall of Fame may be done by any National Federation who employed the nominee.

The President of the FIE may present candidatures to the categories “Athletes” and “Fencing Family” of the Hall of Fame.

The FIE Executive Committee may present candidatures to the category “Fencing Family” of the Hall of Fame.
