Planning to enter the 2027 Junior Olympics? Check nationality verification first.
For TFSA Junior and Cadet athletes and parents planning to enter the 2027 Junior Olympics.
The Junior Olympics take place January 8–11, 2027, in Oklahoma City. For Junior and Cadet events, USA Fencing requires nationality verification before an athlete can register.
- Sign in to your USA Fencing member account. Under My Account → Edit Profile → Nationality Verification, check whether the athlete is already verified.
- If not verified, follow USA Fencing’s instructions and submit an accepted document directly to USA Fencing. Do not send identity documents to TFSA.
- Check age, membership, and qualification requirements separately, then complete registration. Verification alone is not an event entry.
Registration opens October 7, 2026. November 11, 2026, is the regular-fee deadline.
This new nationality-verification requirement does not apply to NAC events.
