Table for Two or Four
Foosball is becoming one of the most popular game sport. You will find these tables at Frat houses and at the back of sports bars.
There were some 150,000 fo
osball tables sold in the United States last year, compared with a peak of 250,000 in the late 70′s. The game can be still found in basements, corporate break rooms and student unions. Just alone the Yahoo has 15 foosball tables at its California head quarters.
Also surprising is the surge in growth comes from the worlds sports stage. With the efforts of the International Soccer Federation formed in 2002, foosball is now officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee, and this year the sport held its third World Cup competition in France where 500 players from 40 countries came together of three days of cut throat rod-spinning. Team USA, with “The Kid” clinched their second consecutive championship title.
We can see just how popular foosball is getting here in the US but also around the world. Maybe there may be a World Cup of table soccer!
