The Russian Federation proposed the concept of hosting the CIS Games. On September 28, 2018, the Council of CIS State Leaders met in Dushanbe and approved the plan.

In addition to putting the CIS collaboration agreement in the realm of physical culture and sport into effect, the Games were organised to fortify the long-standing amicable relations between nations.

The goals of the Games are to preserve CIS national sports as a historical legacy, their popularisation and development at the international level, promote a healthy lifestyle, develop positive physical and moral qualities in young people, cultivate patriotism, the will to achieve goals, respect for history and folk traditions, and improve sports prowess and experience of the athletes competing in international competitions.

Fencing is a fast-paced combat sport that requires agility, precision, and tactical thinking. Athletes compete using one of three weapons—foil, épée, or sabre—aiming to score points by striking their opponent while maintaining defensive control.

Matches demand quick reflexes, strategic movement, and a deep understanding of timing. As an Olympic sport, fencing is practiced worldwide at both competitive and recreational levels. Beyond physical skills, it enhances focus, discipline, and decision-making, making it a mentally engaging and dynamic activity.
