What Is Table Football? The Complete Guide

Woodoo Stadium · table football, guide, foosball

Table football is a game played on a rectangular table in which players control rows of miniature figures on rotating rods to strike a ball into the opposing goal. It is known as foosball in North America, kicker in Germany, baby foot in France, and calcio balilla in Italy.

The Basics

A standard table has eight rods. Each rod controls a row of figures: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Games are typically played to five or ten goals.

A Game for Every Space

Table football requires minimal space and no preparation. A game takes between two and fifteen minutes. This is why it works in pub corners, office breakout areas, hotel lobbies, and garden terraces.

The Object Matters

The Stadium 11-11 is built to eliminate every compromise. 150 kilograms. Brushed stainless steel 304. Calibrated rods. Indoor and outdoor, permanently.
