Table football is known under many names such as 'bar football', 'foosball', 'baby foot' to name a few, but essentially it is the same thing. The name describes the game of trying to score a goal against your opponent on a table- sized football pitch. It has been an integral part of café culture for decades in Europe & now spreads worldwide in its appeal to all ages.

Many high-profile TV shows (such as Friends) have done much to enhance the game's popularity over the past years. Table football is also more available in pubs and clubs now as licensees become aware of its appeal, not just with teenagers but with the family as a whole.
