Athletistic/ Others. The president of the Russian Fencing Federation (FFR), Ilgar Mammadov, has said that several member countries of the European Fencing Confederation (EFC) want the FFR to be expelled from the organization.
“On June 16, I have to speak at the Antalya congress. Some countries have already proposed to modify the EFC charter, with the consequence of the exclusion of our federation from the organization. We must not get there.” This proposal is unfair,” Mammadov said.
On March 2, 2022, the International Fencing Federation (FIE) temporarily suspended Russian athletes from participating in tournaments under the organization’s auspices. On May 31, the president of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), Stanislav Pozdnyakov, was prematurely stripped of his powers as president of the EFC.
