The Federation of International Sports Table Football (FISTF) is the governing body for all Sports table football and Subbuteo associations worldwide. FISTF was the result of negotiations between FISA (Federation of International Subbuteo Associations) members and E(S)TF (European (Sport) Table soccer Federation) to unify sports table football/soccer associations within one governing body. FISTF was founded in 1992 and in September 1993 the first official European championships where played in Belgium. The sport is now well administered worldwide by (FISTF).

The sport is known as Sports table football and based on the table top game of Subbuteo and Newfooty. The Competitions are now organised under FISTF with strict organization rules listed in the FISTF handbook. WASPA is a players association and has flexible organization rules for emerging players, organizers, clubs and Nations, to promote the sport/game on all continents. The upcoming FISTF World Cup will be in Gibraltar (1st & 2nd September 2018). Champions- and Europa League will be in Mallorca (ESP) and Saint Vincent, Aosta (ITA) respectively, in October 2018.

FISTF the World governing body

The board of the international governing body, FISTF, is elected every four years at the FISTF Congress (last in 2013 & 2017), usually held on the day (Friday) before the World Championships (Saturday and Sunday). The first board was elected in 1992 and the first FISTF Championship (Cup) was hosted in Belgium, September 1993. The forthcoming Congress elections will be in 2021.

FISTF Board of Directors

The FISTF Member Nations (delegates) voted a new Board of Directors, after an Extra Ordinary Congress was called in by Member nations. The Final result was announced on 9th December 2017 in Milan, Italy. All Board members have been elected.

FISA Subbuteo World Cup

The first ever Subbuteo table football (soccer) World Cup was played in London (UK/ENG) 1970 with 13 Nations competing. The 'big' three of the 1960s where Belgium, Netherlands, West Germany and Switzerland was the emerging ETF Nation. The four UK Home Nations England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Irland and Eire, as well as from southern Europe Malta and Gibraltar travelled to London. The Americas where represented through the USA and Asia through Israel, which reached against all odds the Semi-Final stage. Stuart Goldman(†) was UK citizen from England and represented Israel. The 24 players were drawn in the 6 groups of 4 players and the 2 top players of each group proceeded to the 2nd group stage, with 4 groups of 3 players. The top 2 players again emerged then to the Quarter-Finales. All results are in the FISTF archive. We can see that Subbuteo was innovative with the tournament modus in 1970. The FIFA World Cup 1982 was played with this modus, without the Q/F stage.

The 7th Edition in 1994 (host Nation was the USA) was the last edition under the Patronance of FISA (Waddingtons Sports Games Ltd.). The organization was already well under way in 1992/1993 and the event was finally played, in Chicago. The first FISTF Sports World Championship was played in Paris (Fra) 1994. In 1993, two European champions reigned (ETF and FISTF), 1994 two world champions reigned (FISA and FISTF) and in 1996 a FISA Subbuteo European Championship and the FISTF World Championship was played. After 1996 there were no more double events played and FISTF strengthened its position as the global sports table football federation. The junior (U-16) World Cup was played in 1978 for the first time with three new Nations present, such as Austria, Greece and Canada.

FISA Subbuteo European Championship

The very first FISA European Subbuteo Championship in 1980 was played as a Team event, with 1 Senior and 2 Junior Player. The nation winning the most individual matches, won the team match. A draw was also possible, if each team won an individual match and the third match would be a draw itself. The result would be a 1-1; as an example. Starting with 1984, the European Championship was played with the same structure as the FISA World Cup, containing one Senior and one Junior category. In 1996 another FISA Subbuteo European Championship event was organized, although FISTF had already been established in 1992. Several nations (Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands, Cyprus, Norway) were not invited or did not participate, and the reason is unclear. After 1993, with all nations joining FISTF, the ETF (ESTF 1992-93) became defunct in October 1993. Hasbro (took over Waddington Sports Games Ltd. with Subbuteo brand name in 1995/1996), tried to carry on by itself to organize a FISA event, with a limited number of players participating. The 1996 competition was therefore the very last organized by FISA (Hasbro). All matches played were 2x15min, with extra time of 2x5min in necessary, and 5x shots in the knock out phase.

ETF Europa Cup for Individual Players

  • Participating Nations where:
  • Founding nations: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany (all 1963)
  • Joined later: Great Britain BTSA (1965) and later split up, England ETSA (1969), Switzerland SSTV (1970), Malta MSTSA (1971), Austria EÖTV (1974), Scotland STSA(1974), Italy FICMS (1975), Gibraltar GTSA (1979), Wales WTSA (1979), France FFFT (1989) and sensationally Australia ATSA(1991). Which was then an indicator for the upcoming FISTF as the new world federation.

The ETF founded in 1963, defunct after the 30th Edition of the Europa Cup in 1993. It was a strong and stable association and the base for the merger of ETF Nations (associations) and FISA Nations (associations), to form and built FISTF. Some countries had two (2) table football/soccer/Subbuteo associations each affiliated to ETF or FISA. That took time to melt together. The main problems where the playing rules and equipment manufactured. FISTF made a new start to melt all players into one democratic global federation, with sport rules and material with several manufacturers offering sports equipment. The development of FISTF is ongoing and more Nations around the Globe are joining. All ETF matches played 2x20min., a.e.t.=after extra time with 2x10min, if necessary 1x10min. golden goal decision or 5x shots (in football known as penalty). Corrections: Willi Hogeweg was German, and not Dutch. Kurt Erb won the 1980 Europa Cup in Uddingston (SCO), and not his brother Peter Erb. Both mistakes corrected, which were previously mentioned. Tonio Montesin (Malta) was the finalist in the 1993 ESTF Cup final, and not John Barrons (NIL)! Important to mention is that Mike Dent is Scottish, while playing for England in 1976.

ETF Nations Cup for National Teams

The season 1966/67, 1967/68 and 1968/69 also saw the ETF Nations Cup for National B-Teams and Junior Teams. The three ETF Members Belgium, Netherlands and Germany participated. England, the fourth ETF Member did not participate. In the 1960s 2 points were given for win and 1 point for a draw, that's why a high score of 8–0 was possible, which meant a 4–0 win in today's result system. Starting with the 1983 ETF Nations Cup, the one (1) point system was introduced for an individual win and for a draw non-points were given to both teams. A team consisted of four (4) Players. All ETF Matches were played 2x20min. In knock-out Stages, an 'after extra time' (a.e.t.) with 2x10min was applied if the match had a draw result. In case there was no winner, the 'golden goal' had to be scored in a 1x10min period. If no winner came up, the 5 shot system was used. The 5 shot system is practically the penalty shooting in real football/soccer. The Editions 1969/70 and 1970/71 were cancelled due to the fact that the Netherlands were not interested to participate at the ETF Nations Cup.

FISA & ETF Europa Cup for Club Teams 1985 - 1993

On the weekend of 7 & 8 September 1985 (Season 85/86), SPA (Belgium), the first Club Team Europa Cup was played (official and approved by FISA / Info football de table international (FRA)). In the honor of the fine Paul Outmanns (Belgium) who was a great player and organizer, the Coupe par equipe d’Europe was named 'Trophy Paul Outmanns'. The Europa Cup in Spa is considered as the first ever Europa Cup for Club teams. At the 1st edition in Spa (BEL), Clubs participated from Belgium (ETF), France (FISA), Germany (ETF) and the Netherlands (ETF). Italian clubs (FISA) participated at the 2nd edition. The 2nd edition in Aubervilliers (FRA) was played on the weekend 9 & 10 January 1988 (Season 87/88) with 4 countries, France (7), Belgium (5), Italy (2) and Germany (1) with a total of 15 clubs. The 3rd edition in Oldham (ENG) on 4 & 5 August 1990 (Season 89/90) with 7 countries, France, Belgium, Italy, Wales, England and Netherlands. The 7th nation (Germany, Scotland or other) is not yet confirmed from research work. The Quarter-Finals 1989/90: Cardiff TSL 2-0 SC Elbeuf, SC Goldfingers Cornesse 3-0 Charlton SC, Birmingham TSL 2-0 Leicster Cheetah SC, RSMV Rotterdam 2-1 Florence SC. The editions in 1985/86 and 1987/88 were an initiative by the clubs and players (FISA & ETF), as well as the FBFTS  Belgium and FFFT  France. The edition in 1989/90 was organized by FISA personal. The Europa Cup for ((Club Teams)) of Sport Table Football was finally born. The club Teams consisted of three players each. The club winning the most of the three matches wins. The playing time was 2x20 minutes (ETF) with three (3) players (FISA) per team. The single win per player counted 1 point, the draw 0 points for each team and the loss 0 points, and therefore it was often important, to have a good goal difference scored from the three individual matches. Clubs participated from FISA and ETF countries, and the Europa Cup for Club Teams began too emerge steadily. It was the beginning, when the flicking nations from FISA and ETF, came step by step together. Talks and meetings, ideas and projects came up to get the table football community merged. The BIG Ignition sparkled!

FISTF - FISA - ETF - 3 or 4 Country Tournament

The 3 or 4 country tournaments for National Teams are played irregular on invitation and the Nations play each other once or twice, too create a league table. It was common that  Austria,  Germany and  Switzerland //  Belgium,  Germany and  Netherlands played these events. The British Championship with  England,  Scotland,  Wales and  Northern Ireland were also played irregular within ETF and FISA. Possibly that  Spain,  Portugal, and  Gibraltar played such a 3 country tournament as well. It is common that Nations play international friendly games when possible and within ETF it was a main sports event with the A-Team, B-Team and Juniors. Today, International tournaments are used, to play 'internationals' between Nations. Mainly the Open and Veteran category are played. FISTF has a registration form to agree on an international match. 2017 saw in Paris  France the first 4-Country tournament with 3 Continents, America, Africa and Europe, involved. We will update this passage with more information.

ETF British Home Championship

The 13th edition was played in 1986. The informations are mentioned in the Table Soccer Review of the ETSA. Mainly England, Scotland and Wales participated. No information was found about Eire! In 1976, England won their 5th Home Championship, so the Edition numbers need corrections. Research goes on through old copies of "The blue" magazine. England won the first seven editions. Wales humbled England in 1981. 1982-1986 England won again five editions in a row. The 14th edition has not been found yet.

The 2nd International match between Nations was played in Turnbridge Wells against Belgium, on behalf of an invitation for three players from Mr. Peter Adolph. The match was played Oct./Nov. 1960. Earlier in February 1960 a Match was played between Belgium and the Netherlands.
