The Goa Bridge Festival has long been a landmark in the Bridge Federation of India calendar. The monsoon is a lovely time to be in Goa with verdant surroundings making it so beautiful. We invite you to come experience this wonderful time on the 18-20th July 2025. The Festival will be hosted by the Club Tennis de Gaspar Dias at Miramar, Goa. This is not a ranking event.
There will be 2 competitions happening simultaneously during these days. There will be an Open Swiss Pairs and a Swiss Mixed Pairs going on side by side. Ladies’ pairs and Juniors (both players below 26 years of age) can choose to participate in either contest. We look forward to a large number of people coming in to enjoy the Bridge and the lush green ambience.
