The idea of GFN is reality. In cooperation, the clubs TSG Reutlingen (Germany) and Oxif FFC (Greece) jointly organized a tournament in Thessaloniki, Greece, creating a platform for bilateral fencing exchange. From May 21-22.2016 German and Greek fencers could meet and fight against each other. This event represented the first step for mutual friendship between both clubs of GFN and laid the cornerstone for future collaboration.
