With respect to EFC member federations who gave us the opportunity to organise the event, I am honoured to welcome all fencers and their supporters at the European Cadet and Junior Championship 2015 in Maribor.

Both – fencers and fans have an important role and they all together are able to present us with an unforgettable performance. I would like to invite you all to come to Slovenia, to our beautiful city of Maribor and enjoy this event with us.
