Ladies and gentlemen, sharpen your focus - Sofia CrossSwords returns on 11 July 2026 in Sofia for another full day of fencing.
This year’s edition will feature:
• OpenSword & Buckler
• Open Light Longsword
All swords will be provided by the organisers to keep conditions consistent and the playing field level.
As we did last year, Video Assisted Review (VAR) will be available at every stage of the tournament.
All swords will be provided by the organizers - but you can still bring your own, if they fit in our (relatively strict) requirements.
All tournament categories will be held on one day - and we got something special for the second.
