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

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!

IMPATIA Derby Canvas brings foosball gaming to new heights

Derby Foosball Luxury Game Design

If you love football but don’t have the physical ability and endurance to play, you can just opt for a foosball table. Okay, so it’s not real football but imagine the thrill of scoring a field goal.

A foosball table gives a different kind of excitement. It also helps improve your hand-eye coordination. It’s the perfect way to keep our joints from being static. If you’re the type who plays casual foosball whenever you’re bored or have guests over, you may want to look into the Derby collection from IMPATIA.

Designer: Gregg Brodarick and Lucia Guazzi

IMPATIA Derby Foosball Design

IMPATIA is an Italian brand that comes up with luxury versions of gaming tables such as billiards, table tennis, poker, and table football. It has released the Derby collection, which showcases luxury foosball gaming. Of course, there is no such thing, but this foosball table is all about luxury–starting with the glass top. The Derby Canvas by Impatia is a modern version of the game table, showing the world that Italian craftsmanship remains elegant and imposing. It can fit a contemporary home interior while offering a fun gaming experience.

Release Derby Foosball Luxury Game

The Derby Canvas is a modern foosball table made with premium material and top-notch craftsmanship. The term canvas tells us this is something you can personalize with different finishes and colors a bit different from the Derby Wood version. It features a lacquered wood structure, low-iron glass playing field, anodized aluminum players, chrome finished metal rods, solid lacquered wood handles, and leather goal.

The materials are customizable but the basic features remain, like the crystalline glass and the solid lacquered wood structure. You can select the color depending on how you want it to match your interior. The contemporary foosball also has exciting design touches like metal details and geometric handles. The complete package elevates the foosball to a different level–showing the world that Italian craftsmanship still exists.

The Derby Wood version also boasts premium materials, including crystalline glass and refined solid wood. The structure is the same as the Derby Canvas, and the only difference is the wood. On the base, we can also see the refined chrome finished metal detailing that adds to the simple elegance of the game table.

The Derby foosball table is made by Italian artisans. Tabletop games are usually ignored in the design world but not by IMPATIA. The company has focused on this category, and we can expect related products will be introduced. Each Derby Canvas is made to order, so expect a uniquely yours table.

Pizza Hut + Ogilvy designed a limited edition pizza-box with a foosball table built into the lid!

It seems like Pizza Hut and Ogilvy want you to ‘play with your food’, or at least want you to play with the packaging of your food. The two brands collaborated over the launch of a new limited-edition pizza box that comes with an actual foosball table built right into the lid!

The Foosball Pizza Box was created as a warm-up for the Europa League which begins October 22nd (Get it, Warm-up? Pizza?). Wendy Leung, marketing director of Pizza Hut explains, ‘the Pizza Hut Foosball Pizza Box was a great opportunity to remind football fans that pizza goes best with their football. Launched at a time when everyone’s stuck in their houses, the box hopes to drum up enthusiasm, interest, and positivity. While diehard fans are just waiting to go out and support their teams or play their own games of street football, the Pizza Hut Foosball Pizza Box provides a great safe alternative, allowing you to battle it out with your friends in the comfort and safety of your own homes. Winner gets an extra slice, perhaps? And if there’s a tie, just equally divide the pie!

The Foosball Pizza Box is currently only available to pizza-enthusiasts in Hong Kong (although enough enthusiasm could push the companies to roll it out worldwide)… you can shoot your shot at winning your own Foosball Pizza Box by visiting the Pizza Hut app, or leaving a clever comment on Pizza Hut Hong Kong’s Facebook page.

Miniature Foosball Table Is Perfect for Dollhouse Dive Bars

Do you love to play foosball, but don’t have room in your house for a full-size table? Then check out this teensy version of the popular pub game that’s small enough to fit on a bookshelf or your desktop.

This handcrafted mini foosball table comes from Victoria, Canada’s miniLAND, and is spot-on accurate to the real deal. From the tiny, faceless athletes, to the abacus style scoring boards at the goals, it’s an impressive little model. While it’s clearly designed as dollhouse furniture, this is a cool desk accessory for any foosball fan. The only thing that isn’t clear is if it’s actually playable. One reviewer mentioned that the “soccer players move around a bit” so that gives me hope. You’ll just need to figure out something to use as a ball. I’m thinking a ball bearing would do the trick nicely.

You can get your hands on the mini foosball table over at miniLAND’s Etsy shop for $76.95(USD). If you find that it’s too small to be playable, there’s always this version.

Power Drill Foosball: GOOOOOAAAALLLL!

How do you take Foosball from “It’s kinda fun I guess.” to “This game is awesome!?” You add power tools. Duh! The folks at SGS Engineering in Derby, UK have modified the foosball table in their office by switching out the standard handles with power drills.

More importantly, they added beer can holders to the table as well. Now the game is much faster paced and you need much better reflexes to succeed. Of course, the downside is that you have to keep those lithium ion batteries charged to play.

I bet everyone in the office had to try this supercharged version of the game at least once.

3D Printed Stormtrooper Foosball Heads

stormtrooper-foosball

We’ve heard it a million times: “I have a 3D printer, but I have no idea what cool stuff to print!” Well, guys, here’s a fun project. If you have a foosball table, YouMagine member Excite created a set of Stormtrooper heads that you can use to replace the ones currently on your table, by simply snapping them over the standard ones. Of course, there are limitations: it’ll only work if you have a Sportcraft table, plus it’ll upset the balance of the players which some more serious aficionados might dislike. But if you’re really looking to spice up your table, the files are available for download on the YouMagine website.

DIY Stormtrooper Foosball Table: Empire FC

Here’s a relatively simple project for 3D printing newbies. YouMagine member excite tricked out his foosball set by replacing the heads of the players with stormtrooper helmets.

Excite based the helmets on Thingiverse member ProCoPrint3D’s design, then used permanent markers to add details. He admits that the mod won’t be compatible with other foosball tables – he has a Sportcraft table – and that the players will become top heavy, hence, they’re bound to fall over.

Something tells me these guys will always end up in penalties. Head to YouMagine to download excite’s files.

Penball Erasers Let You Have an Impromptu Game of Foosball

Penball, Soccer Player Erasers1.

Erasers don’t get any funner than this. You probably don’t need an eraser at this point in time, but you might still want to get them anyway because they’re more than just erasers. You can think of them as attachments that turn plain old pencils into (partial) rods that you can use to play an impromptu foosball match.

It’s nothing like the real thing, obviously, but it provides some fun where there used to be none.

Penball, Soccer Player Erasers2

The erasers were thought up by design company Peleg Design.
