Although official Junior TeamChampionships have existed in

Europe since the late sixties, thedevelopment of bridge among

young people elsewhere was notup to a satisfactory level to allowthe institution of a World Junior

Championship.The situationappeared to have changed in mid-

eighties, and the World BridgeFederation wasted no time at all.

Before leaving office, PresidentJaime Ortiz-Patiño led the way

and, together with AndréBoekhorst, the pioneer of JuniorBridge in Europe, organized the

first competition in August 1987,in Amsterdam.The World JuniorTeam Championship, held every

odd-numbered year, is a zonalcompetition played among the

champion/representative teamsof the WBF zones.
