Foosball Rules

Foosball, also known as table football, is a popular game played on a table with miniature soccer players attached to rods. Here is a complete list of foosball rules:

1. The game is played with two or four players. Foosball is typically played in teams of two, but can also be played with four players, where each player controls two rods. The game is played on a table that simulates a soccer field, and players must use their miniature soccer players to strike the ball into their opponent's goal.
   
   

2. Each team controls four rows of miniature soccer players, which are attached to rods that extend through the table. The rods are used to move the players back and forth and to strike the ball. The players are positioned in a formation similar to that of a soccer team, with defenders, midfielders, and strikers.
   
   

3. The ball is served from the side of the table by the team that scored the previous goal. The ball must touch the table before it can be struck by a player. This ensures that the ball is in play and gives the opposing team a chance to defend.
   
   

4. Players are not allowed to spin their rods excessively, as this can damage the table and make it difficult for the opposing team to defend. Spinning the rods can also result in injuries to players, as the rods can hit other players or the table. Players must use controlled movements to strike the ball and must not use excessive force.
   
   

5. The ball must not be lifted off the table or struck with the top of the player's foot. Players may use any part of the body except their hands and arms to hit the ball. This includes their feet, legs, and torso. Players must use their soccer players to strike the ball and may not lift the ball off the table.
   
   

6. If the ball goes off the table, it is considered out of play and must be served again by the team that last touched it. This ensures that the ball remains in play and gives both teams a chance to score. If the ball goes off the table, the opposing team has an opportunity to serve the ball and gain possession.
   
   

7. If the ball becomes stuck between players, the referee may call a dead ball and restart play. This prevents players from using the ball to block their opponent's shots or from interfering with play. If the ball becomes stuck, the referee will call a dead ball and restart play with a free kick.
   
   

8. A goal is scored when the ball passes completely over the goal line and between the goalposts. This is the objective of the game, and the team that scores the most goals wins. Goals must be scored by striking the ball with a player into the opponent's goal.
   
   

9. The first team to score a predetermined number of goals (usually 5 or 10) wins the game. This sets the goal for the game and gives players an objective to aim for. Once the predetermined number of goals is reached, the game is over.
   
   

10. If the game ends in a tie, extra time may be played to determine a winner. This ensures that there is always a winner in the game and prevents the game from ending in a tie.
    
    

11. Fouls include touching the ball with any part of the body except the hands and arms, touching the table with any part of the body, moving the table, and intentionally blocking an opponent's shot. Fouls are called by the referee and result in a free kick for the opposing team.
    
    

12. Fouls result in a free kick for the opposing team, which must be taken from the spot where the foul occurred. This gives the opposing team an advantage and an opportunity to score a goal.
    
    

13. If a player scores a goal from a free kick, it is counted as a regular goal. This ensures that the game remains fair and that players cannot use fouls to prevent their opponent from scoring.
    
    

14. Players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands or arms at any time during the game, unless they are the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is the only player who is allowed to use their hands and arms to stop the ball. The goalkeeper is designated by a different color shirt or uniform, and must remain in the goal area at all times.
    
    

15. If the ball comes to a stop on the table during play, players are not allowed to touch it. This is known as a dead ball, and the referee will restart play with a free kick. This prevents players from interfering with the ball when it is not in motion.
    
    

16. If a player moves the table during play, it is considered a foul and the opposing team is awarded a free kick. Moving the table can disrupt play and cause the ball to go off course, so players must be careful not to touch the table during the game.
    
    

17. Players are not allowed to distract their opponents during play. This includes shouting, making loud noises, or waving their arms. Such behavior is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and can result in a warning or even expulsion from the game.
    
    

18. The game is played with a time limit, usually ranging from 5 to 10 minutes per half. Once the time limit is reached, the game is over, regardless of the score. This ensures that the game progresses at a steady pace and that both teams have an equal amount of playing time.
    
    

19. Players must not interfere with the opposing team's rods or players during play. This includes touching, grabbing, or pushing the opposing team's rods or players. Interfering with the opposing team's play is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and can result in a foul or even expulsion from the game.
    
    

20. If the ball strikes the ceiling or any other object above the table during play, the game is stopped and restarted with a free kick. This ensures that play is fair and that the ball remains within the boundaries of the table.

     

21. Players must not tamper with the ball in any way during play. This includes adding or removing weight, altering the surface of the ball, or modifying the ball in any other way. Tampering with the ball is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and can result in a warning or even expulsion from the game.
    
    

22. Players must not use any substances on their hands or feet that can make them sticky or tacky, as this can affect play and make it difficult for the opposing team to defend. This includes substances such as glue, tape, or sticky spray.

We all need to be using the same rules, when playing foosball, no matter where we come from. Here is the Official ITSF Rule Book in a number of languages.
