The competition was held from 20 to 21 September 1988. 68 fencers from 29 nations competed.[1] Nations had been limited to three fencers each since 1928. The event was won by Stefano Cerioni of Italy, the nation's second consecutive and seventh overall (matching France for most all-time) victory in the men's foil. Cerioni was the ninth man to win multiple medals in the event.

Romankov also became the third man to win three medals in the event.
