Visit Amazon Australia ↗Foosball Australia started in lockdown in the Blue Mountains, when a foosball table became our daily ritual. It brought every generation in the house to the same table, and we've been hooked ever since.
Along the way we learned what separates a table that wobbles after a month from one that lasts a decade. This site is where we share that, so you can buy the right table the first time.
Read our storyEntry-level tables cost around $200–$500 and suit casual play. Mid-range tables at $500–$1,500 are built for regular use and are where most families get the best value. Professional tables like the Tornado Tournament T-3000 start from about $1,500.
A well-built table lasts for years and gets used by every age group in the house. It builds coordination and quick reflexes, and it is one of the few games that gets people off screens and playing together.
Bunnings and Kmart stock budget and mini tables. Specialists such as TRsports and All Table Sports carry mid-range and professional tables with nationwide delivery. Amazon Australia has the widest range of tables and accessories.
Competitions use high-end tables such as Tornado (common in North America), Bonzini (France), and Garlando and Roberto Sport (Italy). They share smooth rod action, balanced players and adjustable legs.
Spinning a rod through 360° before or after hitting the ball replaces control with luck. Official rules forbid it, and most casual players follow the same rule to keep games fair.
“Fußball” is German for football, where the game got its name. In Australia, the USA and increasingly the UK, “foosball” is the standard term. Many Brits still call it “table football”.
