FEDERATION CHAIR PROFILE

Yossi Harari יוסי הררי

Chair · Israel Fencing Association

The Israel Fencing Association names Yossi Harari as its chair, and the Olympic Committee of Israel independently lists him in the same position. This is the association’s senior board leadership role. He appears alongside CEO Irina Tal in the Olympic Committee’s official fencing directory.

The association’s committee directory identifies him as chair of the urgent executive matters group, the finance committee, and the staff and salaries committee. It also lists him in the external fundraising and competition-management support committees, connecting his public role with governance, funding and organizational operations.

Wingate Institute’s account of the national fencing home agreement records his participation in signing the arrangement between the institute and the association. The initiative brought national-team training, dedicated equipment and support facilities together at Wingate. In that account, Harari emphasized expanded training access across fencing disciplines and acknowledged the institute and high-performance sport partners involved.

OFFICIAL & COACH PROFILE

Igor Richter איגור ריכטר

Deputy Chair · Israel Fencing Association

The association also lists him as chair of the sabre competition subcommittee and a member of its finance committee.

His club profile identifies him as a sabre coach at Maccabi Petah Tikva, with approximately 35 years of coaching in Israel, previous national-team coaching experience and a background on the Soviet national team.

The FIE’s report of its November 30, 2024 Congress lists Igor Richter among national-federation participants. Congress attendance is distinct from an elected or appointed FIE office; the public governance records checked for this profile do not establish a current FIE leadership position for him.
