After returning from United States He will have to pack his bags again to travel to Italy for a reason that he considers very special: to play the 45th edition of the World Bridge Championship, between March 27 and April 9. “It is a pride as an Argentine to be part of a tournament of a game as deep as it is fascinating,” wrote the former president on his social networks, after the reason for his new journey was made public.

Just as I had anticipated NEWS three years ago, Macri He was preparing to dedicate himself professionally to this complex card game, whose passion he inherited from his father. In Salsomaggiore TermeParma, you will be able to demonstrate what you learned.

It will be the second generation of the family to participate in a World Cup, because Franco did it in 2007 and came in 15th place. Your child will want to top it.

A particular fact emerges when comparing both teams: one of the members who was Franco’s teammate 15 years ago, will now be Mauricio’s. Pablo Lombardi is considered one of the “great South American masters” of this game.

The team of macri, which is run by the American Debra Hyatt will start the fixture against Egypt and in the second round they will face the locals, Italy.

In the middle of the tournament, macri will be absent for three days. ANDHe requested authorization from the Justice to make an escape to Qatar, where on April 1 the draw for the World Cup will take place. He, as CEO of the FIFA Foundation, was invited to the event.

After that incursion he will return to the country and to the usual tensions with the government and with his own coalition. But first he will have his head occupied with something else, at least for two weeks. Meanwhile, the result of the World Cup can embolden him: bridge is the only card game considered olympic discipline. Perhaps, if you get a good result, you can aspire to participate in Paris 2024.
