Welcome from Panos

Welcome to the 21st European Youth Championships and welcome to Jesolo. It is very nice to welcome 50 teams from 26 countries to this year’s event and I hope that everyone will enjoy Venice and the area of Jesolo that is hosting us. A great thank you goes to the local authorities for the excellent facilities they have made available to us. It is wonderful to be again in Italy and to enjoy the hospitality of the Italian Bridge Federation, who were also the hosts of the previous event.

I hope that you all reach your individual goals in this championship and also that you use the opportunity to visit one of the greatest locations in Europe. Have a great game.
