This was announced in a statement by the FIE.
“Neutral teams, which will be composed of athletes who have been granted AIN status by the FIE Executive Committee, will be allowed to participate in FIE senior team competitions, starting from the 2025 Senior European Championships. The Neutral teams will fence under the FIE flag,” the statement says.
As a result, these “neutral” fencers will be able to participate in the 2025 European Championships, which will take place June 14–19 in Genoa, Italy.
