More about Foosin
We are one of the pioneers of table football in Lithuania, having started our work in 2008. Since the start, we organise tournaments in cooperation with the National Table Soccer Federation (NSFF). The fruit of our joint work: a rapidly spreading table football “virus”, over 80 tables in Lithuanian bars and a growing community of professional players. This “virus” has already reached neighboring countries, Latvia and Belarus, gathering foosball lovers there.
To ensure availability of high-quality foosball, in 2010, we opened the table soccer club Foosin and launched FOOS-SHOP, a specialised online store, where we carry foosball tables and other accessories by globally recognised manufacturers.
We actively carry out our mission of foosball promotion by organising foosball tournaments, supporting players from the Team Foosin, actively supporting student table soccer championships and other non-profit foosball development initiatives.
