The Romanian Fencing Federation (Romanian: Federația Română de Scrimă) is the governing body for the sport of fencing in Romania. Affiliated to the Federation Internationale d'Escrime since 1914,[1] it is a member of the European Fencing Confederation and of the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, the federation had 1238 fencers in 2011. Its budget, granted by the Ministry of Youth and Sport, grew from 2.5 million lei in 2012 to 3 million let in 2014.[2]

History

The first governing body of fencing in Romania was the Federation of Fencing and Gymnastics Societies (Romanian: Federațiunea societăților de arme și gimnastică din România), created in 1906, then in 1912 the Federation of Sport Societies (Romanian: Federația societăților sportive din România), of which fencing was a committee.[3] The FRS proper was founded in 1931 as a temporary organisation and officially recognised by the Union of Sports Federations of Romania (UFSR) in 1932.[4]
