The Fédération Luxembourgeoise d’Escrime (FLE) has decided to postpone the 2026 National Championships for the U17, U20 and Senior categories, scheduled for 27 and 28 June 2026 at the Centre National d’Escrime (CNE) in Luxembourg City, in response to the exceptional heatwave currently affecting the country.

Although every effort was made to evaluate whether the competition could be held safely, the FLE considers that the protection of everyone involved must remain the highest priority.
