table football History

There are three stories who was the first This would have been by Harold Searles Thorten who made a miniature version of the popular table football game made with a matchbox and matches. In 1921 he patented the game in England.

The second story is from Frenchman Lucien Rosengart who is said to have produced the first table football cabinet.

The third story is that the Spaniard Alexandre de Finesterre invented it out of boredom during the Spanish Civil War. He patented it in 1937, but the papers are said to have been lost.

Then there is the rumor that table football was invented to help war veterans recover. Although this was not the case, great successes were achieved in improving eye-hand coordination

Spread Regardless of its origins, table football only developed after the Second World War: In the 1950s, the first table football competition was organised in Belgium. In 1976, the European Table Soccer Union (ETU) was founded and with it, the various European competitions were coordinated with each other, by means of, among other things, an annual European Cup.

In the US, foosball began to gain popularity when Lawrence Patterson, an American soldier stationed in Germany who learned the game there, reintroduced foosball to America in 1962 by importing a Bavarian foosball table. He patented the term "foosball" for the game in North America, which has stuck. He is also the one who introduced the coin-operated table. The first all-American foosball table was produced in 1970 by Bob Hayes and Bob Furr. They, along with Patterson's coin-operated foosball table, were responsible for the fact that foosball became a national craze in the US in the 1970s. It became so popular that even the prestigious Sports Illustrated ran reports on foosball tournaments. However, the rise of Pac-Man, other video games and arcades in the 1980s led to a decline in the popularity of foosball in the US.

In the Netherlands, table football was traditionally dominated by the south. The first Dutch table football association therefore comes from Limburg. Since the sixties competitions have been played in Limburg and North Brabant. Later the game also spread to the Randstad, especially the regions of Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The first table football club there was Club Foos Amsterdam. In 2017, competitions and table football tournaments are also held in the Randstad. It is also slowly getting off the ground in the north of the country.

Today The game is now played all over the world. However, a continuing problem with the unification process is that there are various types of table football tables and different countries seem to have a preference for their own type. Today there are still at least five dominant table types, each with, for example, its own playing figures, handle sizes and composition of balls. There is therefore not only a championship in singles or doubles, open, men, or women, but a championship for each category for each type of table football. In 2002, the International Table Soccer Federation (ITFS) was founded in France with the mission to popularize the game worldwide and to further regulate it. Type of table football table The game has various types of table football tables and champions are therefore determined per type of table football. The most famous tables are the following

• French or Bonzini table. This table football is robust and mostly handcrafted. It is characterized by relatively heavy figures of aluminum, rubber playing field and light cork balls. The game demands extremely good technique and is characterized by high control of the ball.
• German or Leonhart table. According to The menscave this table football is characterized by a mix of American pragmatism and European finesse. German figures have a similar design to the American figures, but are lighter, which leads to more pinning possibilities. The game on this table is relatively fast, with good ball control and regular play.
• Spanish table . The playing field of this table slopes slightly from the center line to the goal lines, so the ball always tends to roll toward the center.
• Italian or Garlando table football. This table is characterized by a glass playing field, small figures and light turning rods. This leads to varied play suitable for different levels.
• American or Tornado table. This is the only table - and possibly the only sport variant - with unequal teams, i.e. 11 versus 13 figures. It usually has a plastic laminated playing field. The feet of the figures are wide, which promotes cooperation between the figures, but which also slows down the speed of the game.
