Poland win two golds at European team bridge event

Poland delivered a notable performance at the 57th European Team Championships in sport bridge, winning two gold medals in Riga and underlining the strength of its national programme across multiple categories.

Two titles for Poland in Riga

The championships were held in Riga from 27 June to 7 July 2026, with Poland emerging as one of the leading nations at the event. The country’s national teams finished top of the podium in two divisions, taking gold in the mixed category and in the seniors competition.

Those results gave Poland a double success at one of the key events on the European bridge calendar. Winning in both mixed and seniors underlined the depth of the Polish teams and their ability to compete at the highest level in different sections of the tournament.

World Championship qualification secured

There was more than silverware at stake in Riga. By claiming those titles, both Polish teams also secured qualification for the next World Championships.

That global event is scheduled to take place on 24 August 2027 in Barbados, giving Poland the chance to carry its European success onto the world stage. Qualification for that tournament adds further significance to the results achieved in Riga.

A strong return from the European Championships

For Poland, the outcome represents an impressive return from the 57th edition of the European Team Championships. Two gold medals in a single championship is a significant achievement, particularly with both triumphs coming in team categories that demand consistency over the course of a major international event.
