Table Football Events in the UK

The British Foosball Association (BFA) organises and sanctions competitions across the United Kingdom. Competitions can be organised by BFA-affiliated Clubs, and the BFA itself.

There are two types of competitions organised:

– Tournaments
– Leagues

Tournaments

Tournaments are player versus player (singles or doubles) competitions, and fall into different categories based on their prestige, difficulty, player licence requirements and ranking points yielded. 

The UK Tour

UK tournaments are sanctioned by BFA and contribute to the UK Tour.

All BFA-sanctioned tournaments must adhere to the Tournament Regulations.

To participate in the UK Tour players need a BFA Player Licence.
