2025 African Fencing Championship: Egypt Reigns Supreme as El-Sayed, Amr Clinch Titles

Posted : 26 June 2025

Egyptian fencers continued to assert their dominance at the 23rd African Fencing Championship in Lagos, as reigning champion Mohamed El-Sayed successfully defended his title in the Men’s Individual Épée, while Sara Amr captured her maiden continental gold in the Women’s Individual Foil.

The five-day tournament is being held at Charterhouse, Lagos, featuring top fencing talents from across the continent.

World No. 1 El-Sayed secured the tournament’s first gold medal after a dramatic 11–10 victory over compatriot Mahmoud Had Mohsen in the final.

Earlier, El-Sayed battled through a tough semifinal, edging out his brother, Mahmoud El-Sayed, 15–14 in a nail-biting encounter that showcased the depth of Egypt’s fencing pedigree.

In the women’s foil event, second seed Sara Amr clinched her first African title with a commanding 15–8 win over Côte d’Ivoire’s Isabel Esteban.

Amr had earlier defeated her teammate and 2024 bronze medallist, Noha Hany, in a tight 15–13 semi final clash.

Esteban, meanwhile, stunned top seed Malak Hamza of Egypt with a surprising 15–8 upset in the semifinal, before settling for silver in the final.

Following her victory, Amr credited her composure and focus as key factors in her triumph.

“I focused on staying calm and managing each match one at a time. It wasn’t easy, but I’m proud of how I handled the pressure,” Amr said.

Egypt’s double triumph underscores the nation’s continued dominance in African fencing, setting the pace early in the championship’s medal standings.
