Milan Macura
Professional bridge coach, player, and organizer
Milan was born for Bridge and lives with Bridge.
His career began at age 10, when his grandfather taught him the basics. He started playing internationally at 17, won the World Youth Championships at 25, and continues to compete at the top level.
His official role in the organization dates back to 2011, when he took the challenge to rebuild the Czech Bridge Federation as its President, and he continues to serve his country as the General Manager and Chief Youth Coach. Milan is helping to develop Bridge in the EBL as a member of the Youth Committee and the Small Federation Committee, primarily by organizing the EBL Youth Coach Seminars.
He participates in numerous projects and development groups. His primary focus is teaching (started in 2013) and developing methodology and new teaching approaches. He is a key person on the project "Bridge to Schools," which aims to develop materials and methods for teaching the younger generation.
The organization of International events is taking on a larger role since 2025, when Milan secured the organization of the 2nd European Transnationals in Prague, and will continue for at least 5 more years. Milan has been organizing the Prague Youth Bridge Festival since 2023, increasing the participation every year.
Milan is a Funbridge ambassador and a streamer. He started streaming in 2019 and introduced a new way to entertain and teach. He has hundreds of tournaments recorded on YouTube and this website.
Milan represented the Bridge world at the 1st Olympic Esports in Singapore and is consulting on the online projects and platforms.
