I am very pleased to give my patronage to the 4th European Small
Bridge Federation Games, hosted for the first time in San Marino thanks to
the organization of our National Bridge Federation.
The event, devoted to European federations that have less than 500
members, has the purpose of creating a competitive space suitable for small
entity, for territorial and organizational reasons: the Games of the Small
States of Europe. San Marino is already in full harmony with the spirit of
the event.
The Bridge is one of the most original sports, cause it does not train
the body, but it trains the mind to solve problems thoughtfully and with a
flash of genius. I hope that through events like this, interest and curiosity in
young people for this wonderful game training will increase.
I extend my congratulations to the Bridge Federation of San Marino
for organizing an event that involves many players for five days from about
22 countries.
I wish you all a happy stay in San Marino, surely for the pleasure of
the international challenge, but also for the pleasure of spending a holiday
in the enchanting “land of Liberty”.

Dear friends,
All members of FNSB (San Marino National Bridge Federation)
are honored to host the 4th edition of European Small Federation Games.
This event, created by our friend Jean-Charles Allavena’s intuition,
has immediately stimulated my personal interest, principally for my passion for the Bridge, moreover, because I’ve immediately found this competition particularly suitable for my abilities.
The most important aspect, that I appreciated during the last editions, is the opportunity to create and improve special human relationships:
it’s not easy to reach the same result in bigger different context, like European Championships.
For all these reasons, I asked all of, and especially to our friend
Jean-Charles, to give me the opportunity to organize this edition in my
small and lovely Country.
I would like to thank everyone of you for the opportunity you gave
me, I hope I honored and deserved your trust.
Thank you all for having participated in this edition of European
Small Federation Games, I hope you will live an unforgettable experience
in San Marino.
