As a fencer, you are insured!

Swedish Fencing Association’s (SvFF) sports insurance is arranged via Folksam and covers all members of LundsAFK. Participants in “try fencing” or “Introduction to Fencing” are also covered by the insurance.

The insurance covers accidental damage that occurs during training, competition and camps (also abroad and during travel to/from the activity) arranged by SvFF or LundsAFK. However, the insurance is not comprehensive. Read more on Folksam’s website folksam.se (in Swedish) and on the Swedish Fencing Association’s website svenskfaktning.se (in Swedish).

Remember that when you travel within the EU, you need to have your European health insurance card with you. You can easily order it on the Social Insurance Agency’s website forsakringskassan.se

On the SvFF’s website it says, among other things: “Check that your private accident insurance is also valid abroad, that it entitles you to rehabilitation and that the disability compensation is high enough. It has also been shown that some insurance companies (e.g. Trygg-Hansa) can exclude accidents that occur during training or competition when the insured represents a sports association. Choose as a fencer a company that does not have this exception.”
