You can now play your own World Cup with this fully functional LEGO Foosball Table!

Posted on by

Watch as football icons Thierry Henry and Marcus Rashford battle it out on this mini LEGO foosball table in the video above…

With its DIY design that lets you even customize the players down to their jerseys, hairstyles, and skin colors, the LEGO Table Football MOC may just be the coolest interactive build of all time! The fully operational tabletop game is made up of 2339 LEGO elements, has 5 players on each team, and even comes with its own dugout that also doubles up as the audience while you play a quick game of soccer… ahem, football.

Unlike most LEGO Ideas that exist as fan-made concepts garnering support on LEGO’s fan forum, this creation from Donát Fehérvári actually made it to becoming a box set. Fehérvári debuted this MOC (My Own Creation) back in 2021 as a submission to LEGO’s We Love Sports online competition. Winning the Grand Prize with 1244 votes, the build even got a nod of approval from the LEGO Ideas Review Board, which agreed to turn it into a box set available for people to buy. Just in time for the FIFA World Cup, that too!

The set is relatively easy to construct, and models itself on the traditional foosball table, albeit with a smaller footprint and just 5 players on each side as opposed to the traditional table that has as many as 11 players per team. The players are controlled by poles that can be pushed, pulled, or even turned to have the foosballers move around and kick the tiny white plastic foosball. Goal counters above each goalpost let you count as many as 5 goals – perfect for a short game spanning a few minutes.

What’s remarkable about the LEGO Table Football, however, is its inclusivity. The set allows you to build 22 minifigures (with 12 of them waiting in the dugout while 10 play on the field) of varying ethnicities and personalities. The kit includes 44 different heads and 43 hairstyle types, letting you play with both male and female players. The accompanying dugout (or cheering station) lets you store the extra heads and wigs underneath, and perhaps my favorite element is the tiny trophy cup included with the set that goes to the victor of the game!

Designer: Hublot

Hublot and FIFA collaboration is a celebrated affair since 2010 when the Haute horology giant tied knot with FIFA. The watchmaker has etched its name in each football buff’s consciousness by outfitting referees of FIFA men and women World Cups with essentially designed Big Bang e-smartwatches ever since. In spite of that, The Big Bang E FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is one of the finest Big Bang e’s to date. The 44mm polished titanium case and black ceramic bezel are overpowered by an AMOLED touchscreen display touting 127dpi resolution. The official variant of the watch will arrive in a burgundy dial paired with a black colored rubber strap finished with burgundy lines. This look is inspired by the flag color of Qatar, the country which will be hosting the world cup.

Drawing power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100+ processor, the watch comes with a 400 mAh battery, claimed to offer a day’s battery life, and can be customized for each fan willing to spend on the state-of-the-art timepiece. The fans can choose the dial and strap-in colors of any of the 32 teams participating in the FIFA World Cup kicking off on November 20 with the game between Qatar and Ecuador. Until then, the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will be in a ‘countdown mode:’ keeping note of the days to kickoff.

The watch runs Wear OS 3.0 to let the user access apps on Google Play. Additionally, it can display fast, simple in-match statistics on the dial for quick fan consumption. The dial will show up team line-ups and player profiles 15 minutes before each game and go into specially designed ‘match mode’ after kick-off to display highlights – including goals, game time, etc. – so you don’t miss a minute of the match your country is playing. Limited to just 1,000 examples, the Hublot Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 smartwatch will retail for $ 5,800.
