Minigols - a New Face of Foosball

Foosball (or Table Football) as we know it today was first invented by Harold Thornton in 1921 and patented in 1923. The concept was conceived after Harold had been to a Tottenham Hotspur F.C. football match (he was an avid supporter). He wanted to provide a game that replicated football that could be played at home.

In 2002, the International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF) was established in France with the mission of promoting the sport of Table Soccer as an organizing sports body, regulating international competitions, and establishing the game with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and General Association of International Sport Federation (GAISF).

Kids and adults can collect real soccer teams and switch out players.

Many innovations have been made to this game over the years. The most recent update is brought from Minigols for foosball fans around the world: real teams and real players. Now, for the first time, kids and adults can switch out the figures with caricatures of real-life soccer players and their teams. Players can customize their players, teams, and formations, game after game.

Are you a fan of Germany? Watch Real Madrid's match? You can not finish your week without seeing a match of the Barcelona soccer team? Messi, Ronaldo, Dempsey or Donovan are your favorite players? 

Minigols has licenses with national soccer teams including Mexico, Germany, Spain, and Argentina as well as the three most popular club soccer teams in the world: Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United.

In addition, for fans from the United States, the last news: from November 2014 Minigols brings figures of players who play at two MLS teams: Los Angeles Galaxy and Seattle Sounders.

You do not have fussbal game table? Minigols figures are collectible sets!

The game’s figures are more than foosball players, they are also limited edition Collector. Each team pack includes 11 players, each painted in detail with team uniforms, player numbers, hair and facial features that represent the real life players. The team packs include a display stand for the entire team.

After a huge success in Europe, now the game and figures Minigols arrive in the US, just in time to be made as a gift during the holidays. This is an appropriate gift for the whole family, the fast-action table is the ideal height for children, or the legs can be detached so it can be placed on top of a table for adults.  Unlike full size foosball tables that can take up the better part of a room, the smaller 33.5” x 16.4” size lends itself to easy storage.

The game is available online at www.minigolsus.com with free shipping and a free Miguel Herrera action figure (manager of the Mexican national soccer team) with any purchase.
