The Challenge Cups Fencing Championships will be held from May 31 to June 1, featuring more than 500 athletes competing in both open and veteran divisions across men's and women's épée, foil and sabre categories.

The épée events are scheduled for the first day, while foil and sabre competitions will take place on the second day.

People can register for tickets online starting on Thursday through the Fencing Association of Hong Kong, China, or obtain one at the arena at 9 am or 2.30 pm.
