International Table Soccer Federation

International Table Soccer Federation

The International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF) is a non-profit organisation based in France that promotes table soccer. The ITSF endorse Soccer Tables that meet requirements for international competition from manufacturers such as Garlando, Roberto Sport, Bonzini, Tornado and Tecball.

Current members

As of 2007, the ITSF has expanded to include the following countries:Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hong-Kong, Hungary, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Slovakia, South Africa, Switzerland, Taiwan, U.K., U.S.A., United Arab Emirates.

Tournaments

The ITSF does not in itself organize most of the events that come under its banner. ITSF organizes the Multi-Table World Championships in Italy in late October, and is responsible for organizing the World Cup, which takes place in the same year and country as the FIFA World Cup. Entry to the annual championships is earned by winning one of the official table type World Championships (or placing very highly in this.) Entry can also be earned by accruing enough ranking points over a number of smaller events that meet ITSF's strict criteria for events.

ITSF ranking tournaments are restricted in number to each member country, and ranking status is awarded based around standard of entry expected, number of players entering and prize money to be awarded.
