⚠️ Update regarding Women’s Sabre – Holmgång 2026

Unfortunately, the Women’s Sabre tournament will not take place at Holmgång 2026.

We know many were looking forward to this discipline, and we truly appreciate the interest and support shown for it. Sometimes logistics and registration numbers mean we have to make difficult decisions when organizing the event.

All other disciplines will run as planned, and we’re still incredibly excited for an amazing weekend of fencing.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the event and the HEMA community. ⚔️
