Sports table football is a competitive game based on the table top game of Subbuteo. It was more commonly marketed by Subbuteo Sports Games as 'Table Soccer'. It is administered globally by the Federation of International Sports Table Football, or FISTF. While the inspiration for STF comes from Subbuteo, but the S is used for SPORT and not for the products' name. The playing rules and playing equipment employed, mark it out as a separate game (sport) in its own right.
FISTF was a result of negotiations between FISA (Federation of International Subbuteo Associations) members and ETF (European Tablefootball Association) members to unify the sports table football (STF) world into one governing body. FISA was actually run through Waddingtons (Subbuteo Sports Games Ltd.) and ETF through its Member Nations on a democratic basis. FISTF is an independent federation and a non-profit worldwide organization.
The World of "Subbuteo" and "Sports table football" was unified with rules, regulations, equipment and friendships. Individual players and nations were now able to see competitions to be organised under FISTF banner. See below the Hall of Fame of winners of the FISTF, FISA and ETF (1990–1993 as ESTF) competitions.
Playing rules
The 3D model footballers are referred to as 'figures', the human operators are referred to as 'players'.
Sports table football rules are now laid down by FISTF, and based on the original Subbuteo rules (way back to the 1950s), with ETF (1960s) and FISA (1970s) versions of rules, used to set up modern playing rules. Significant number of changes where made in 1992, when FISTF started as the world federation. Today the playing rules are stable and in little steps adapted with experience of playing situations. Within this fantastic table Sport, table football is played in miniature version. All the aspects of real football (or soccer in the US) can be simulated with flicking or snipping the figurine and play the round ball. Fast or slow, defensive or offensive play can be used for tactic. A through-in, a free kick, a penalty and a corner can be played. Shots on goal can be low or high, but must be under the crossbar in order to score a goal. A foul may be committed by an attacking player as well as by the defensive player. The goalkeeper is allowed to save shots and may deflect the ball for a corner kick, throw-in or back into the playing area. Actually all "FIFA" football playing rules are transferred into the miniature version of the well known Subbuteo (a.k.a. Sports table football, or Table Soccer) game. Referees take decisions according to the playing rules, such as the offside rule (law), confirming a goal, foul play, corner-kick, free-kick or a throw-in).
The "only" main difference on the green playing pitch (synthetic or cotton material), are the shooting zones in front of both goals for Sports table football. The Shooting zone, is the zone in which the ball (with full diameter) must have entered, to score a legitimate goal. The playing pitch is divided into four equal sectors (according to rules normally each 300 mm). Dimensions vary though. As soon as the ball crossed the shooting zone line, the ball may be shot at goal by the attacking player. For the defensive player, it is important to keep the ball outside of the shooting area. Exactly this sport aspect, makes it extremely interesting for players and teams. The better you control and play the ball to the break through the defensive figurine positions, the higher the chance to score. Everybody can bring in his own idea of play (within the playing rules of course). The ball can be flicked three times in a row with one and the same figure. A fourth touch in a row is illegal. The passing between to different attacking figures is necessary (like in football or soccer).
The offside position (like in football or soccer) can be forced through the tactical play of the defensive player, who may "flick" a defensive figure away from the Goal line, to put an attacking figure into offside position. The attacking player can then announce "tick" to indicate verbally, that he will "flick" his offside positioned figure into "onside" position. Then normal play carries on. Offside is the same as in football. Two defensive players must be between the Goal line and the first attacking figure.
The figures' bases may be polished with a cloth with a liquid, to slide perfectly on the playing surface. This ensures a high standard of accuracy of play, whilst simultaneously limiting the ability to spin the figure.
World governing body
The board of the international governing body, FISTF, is elected every four years at the FISTF Congress, usually held the day (Friday) before the World Championships (Saturday and Sunday). The first board was elected in 1992, although the first FISTF event was later hosted in September 1993 in Belgium.

Referees
Referees for a tournament are currently drawn from the pool of players. In the group stage of an event, inactive players are used to referee games. In the knockout stage, players eliminated from the group stage are used as referees. Referees are placed usually outside of their own qualifying group and away from team mates or compatriots where possible. In familiar surroundings such as a club, or in regions where sportsmanship is highly regarded, a referee is considered unnecessary for a match or practice match. In case both players agree, then no referee is necessary.
Playing equipment
FISTF "homologates" certain playing equipment – i.e., agrees on its use in competition play. Playing figures on bases, pitches (cotton or artificial cloth simulating grass), goals and balls must all comply with standards and be officially homologated from FISTF Board. Sports table football (also known worldwide as Subbuteo) equipment can be used, but many higher-level players prefer to use sturdier and more expensive sports equipment manufactured by a number of different specialist companies. Training equipment is now also available for better practicing the sport, as well as measuring tools.
Competitions
FISTF-sanctioned competitions are held in many of its member nations, featuring individual competitors divided into a variety of categories by age group and gender (Open, Veteran, U-19, U-15, U-12 and Ladies) as well as competitions for teams (Open, Veteran, U-19, U-15, U-12 and Ladies). All these categories are played during a World Cup weekend each year. A team consists of six players on the protocol of play, while four players of each opposite team are picked by the team coach (or captain) and written onto the protocol. The two reserve players remain, and only one of them is able to be exchanged during half-time on one of the four playing tables, in case of injury or tactical reasons. The FISTF World Cup is held annually and took place 2013 in Madrid (Spain), and in 2014, Rochefort (Belgium), will be the host city.
The FISTF champions league 2010 (18th edition, Host TFC Matterburg from Austria) and the Europa league (Host Lazio Rom, Italy were played for the first time in 2010). The FISTF Champions League (19th edition) and the Europa League 2011 (2nd edition) were hosted by Gruppo Calcio de Tavolo GLF Gorizia from Italia, which was played for the first time on Slovenian territory in 2011. Both events took place on 22 and 23 October 2011. The FISTF Champions- and Europa League 2014 will be hosted in Frameries (Belgium), after the organizers in France (Issy-le-Molineaux) were not able to warrant the event and returned it to FISTF, to issue a new announcement (Jan–February 2014). Frameries (Belgium) will see also the edition in 2015 and 2016. There are several Major Grand Prix, International Open and satellite tournaments all over the world. National competitions are organised by the national federations such as individual and team competitions with promotion and relegation systems. Cup competitions (knock out) are also played. Internationals between nations are also on the score board. Very often a three-country tournament is played, such as BEL-NED-GER, AUT-CH-GER, ITA-FRA-BEL or the British championship (ENG-SCO-WAL-NIR). Each player has the chance to get international caps for his country.
In 2011, World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association (WASPA) started to promote the game worldwide. At the beginning it was felt as a competition towards FSITF, but within 2014 FISTF and WASPA cooperated logically, because both are run by organizers and players. WASPA is there to unite people on the small basis, whereby FSITF has strict sporting and organization rules for events. WASPA is more easier for smaller events (tournaments) to be played and results are added to a world ranking list of WASPA. Each FISTF or non-member country can organize WASPA tournaments and send results to the WASPA ranking list. This helps to promote the sport and is the primary way to start up a club or association. The entire development goes better for all Subbuteo players and are built up to play one day at the FISTF world championship or become a host nation.
FISTF and WASPA have a legal synergy effect for our sport, as well as for all manufacturers of playing equipment around the world.

The 1994 World Championship was the last under the patronance of FISA (Subbuteo). The organization was already well under way in 1992/1993 and the event was played in Chicago. The real first FISTF World championship was played in Paris. So in 1993, two European champions reigned (ETF and FISTF), 1994 two world champions reigned (FISA and FISTF) and again 1996 two European champions (FISA and FISTF).
FISTF World Sports Table Football Championship
FISTF started in 1993 with a European Championship and are mistakenly used as World Championships. 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999 where European Championships, and not World Championships. The Ages changed from U-20 to U-19, U-16 to U-15 after 1999 (to be checked). The Ages for the Veterans started at 35 and was increased steadily to 40Years of Age, and is now once again in process to go up to 45Years, from 2013 to 2018.

In 1996 another FISA event was organized, although the FISTF was already established since 1993. Several Nations (Switzerland, Austria, Danmark, Netherlands, Cyprus, Norway) where not invited or did not participate. Real information is not known why. ETF defunct in 1993 accordingly. The Subbuteo (Owner/manufacturer) tried to carry on for itself to play an event. The players participated where also FISTF members or partner Nations. The 1996 competition was then the very last of FISA. All matches played 2x15min., a.e.t.=after extra time with 2x5min, if then necessary 5x penalty shots.
ETF Europa Cup for Individual Players
- Participating Nations where:
- Founding nations: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany (All 1964)
- Joined later: England (1965), Switzerland (1970), Malta (1971), Austria (1974), Scotland (1974), Italy (1975), Gibraltar (1979), Wales (1979), France (1989) and sensationally Australia (1991). Which was an indicator for the upcoming FISTF and new world federation.

The ETF founded in 1963, defunct after the 30th Edition of Europa Cup in 1993. It was a strong and consequent association and the base for the fusion of ETF Nations (associations) and FISA Nations (associations), to form and built FISTF. Some countries had two (2) table football associations each affiliated to ETF and 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 matches played 2x20min., a.e.t.=after extra time with 2x10min, if necessary 1x10min. golden goal decision. Corrections: Willi Hogeweg was German, and not Dutch. Kurt Erb won the 1980 Europa Cup in Uddingston, and not his brother Peter Erb. Both mistakes corrected, which were previously mentioned. Tonio Montesin was the finalist in the 1993 ESTF Cup final, and not John Barrons (NIL)!

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 result. Starting with the 1983 ETF Nations Cup, the one (1) point system was introduced for a win and for a draw non-points were given to both teams. A team consisted of four (4) Players. All ETF Matches played 2x20min. (for knock-out stage a.e.t.=after extra time with 2x10min, if necessary 1x10min. golden goal decision).
