Dear Reader,
I am happy that you follow sports table football (German: Sporttischfussball) and I am working on all historical facts for the sport. Sports table football is the evolutionary development from an intial toy product to a world wide sports movement with modern material. It is world wide known as by players, collectors, fans and people loving the game 'Subbuteo' in its original style. Several other new manufacturers have appeared over the past 25 years and produced playing materials and accessoires. My research work is continous to make information and content properly available for readers. The Federation of International Sports Table Football (FISTF) is a registered club in France under the Law 1st July 1901 with the Association contract. FISTF are a leagl entity.
Every support and updates are highly appreciated on research work for the sport whos beginning was in 1925, when the first ideas where created and the 'Newfooty' game was invented (in 1929 the invention was registered in Liverpool), which is the original predecessor of Subbuteo SG Ltd. (dated 1947). This is not so well known throughout the world of sports table football. The Newfooty Ltd. company was taken over by Subbuteo Sport Games Ltd. in the mid 1950s, and from 1947 to the mid 1950s, both companies where on the market in England. Research on historical facts and data goes on.
Today, sports table football is a modern sport, with development emerged materials. Subbuteo (Reg. TM) (a toy) is sold in toy shops and should bring new players to our sport/game/hobby. Players began with the product Subbuteo and later crossed over to the organized proper sport events. The world cup is the main event for all players. Important is to know, that I do not promote a company nor favorite one in front of another. My motivation is proper understandable content from researched facts. Tough indeed.
I am still far away of being a good wikipedia author, but progressing best way.
kind regards Horst Deimel
