The World Bridge Games in Buenos Aires
This article will be updated very regularly so that you can follow the adventures of the members of Team Funbridge as if you were there.
A competition that only takes place every four years
The World Bridge Games take place once every four years. In 2012 they were held in Lille, France, in 2016 in Wrocław, Poland, and in 2020 in Salsomaggiore, Italy. These are world championships organised by the WBF, but they differ from those held every other summer. In a way, these are Bridge Olympics and a very prestigious competition. This year, they are being held in Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is a city full of energy, where culture, tango and history meet. Known for its unique atmosphere and lively neighbourhoods, it’s a must-see in Latin America.
Each country can field its national teams in four categories: Open, Women, Mixed and Seniors. 35 teams have registered for the Open, the flagship category. There will be 29 teams in the Mixed event, and 24 in the Women and Seniors categories. All the continents have sent teams, although as usual there will be a majority of European teams.
The competition kicks off on Tuesday 22 October and ends on Sunday 3 November. The first week consists of round robins. Knockout matches qualifying for the semifinals and then the final are run during the second week.
Funbridge represented in three categories!
