Innovation meets tradition in the heart of Romania
The 2025 European Small Federations Games brought players, coaches, and fans from across the continent to Bucharest for three days of intense competition, camaraderie, and celebration of the game we all love. Hosted in one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals, the event showcased not only top-level bridge but also the continued evolution of digital tournament management—an area where LoveBridge proudly played a supporting role.
This year’s championship highlighted the spirit of smaller federations whose dedication keeps bridge thriving across Europe. Despite their size, these federations contribute enormously to the growth of the game, and the Bucharest edition once again demonstrated their ability to deliver high-quality, exciting, and inspiring competition. After a close battle between the 16 participating teams, the Lithuanian national team took home the winners’ trophy.
However, the bridge events did not end at Caro Hotel Bucharest: immediately after the Small Federations Games, the Contra Cup began, which was held on the LoveBridge system for the first time this year. LoveBridge bid+score was used in the knockout stage for the best 16 teams in the team tournament as well as in the final of the pairs tournament.
