Ruling on a case brought by the English Bridge Union, a judge has decided today (15th October) that Sport England is not acting unlawfully by not recognising bridge as a sport.
This means that although bridge is recognised as a sport by a number of organisations - such as the UK Charity Comission, and the International Olympic Committee - Sport England will not recognise it as such.
