1. Challenger of Amadora
Jorge Silva (Lazio) won the FIST Challenger of Amadora (Portugal) last sunday. Silva beat Bruno Abreu (3-2) in the final. Miguel Castro and Edy Jorge reached the semis. Gonçalo Santos won the U15 tournament while Jorge Silva also took the veterans trophy. Silva is therefore winning his second FISTF title in a month after his success in the Future of Amadora. 20 players were competing, which is a very good number for a Challenger in this small association.

2. 6 FISTF events in 10 days
The FISTF Tour 2008-2009 is coming to a very important period with 6 events being less int he first 10 day of May.
On Friday 1st, there will be a Satellite in Cagliari (Italy). May 1 is usually a day off in many european countries and the Italians are preparing a super week-end with a Satellite on friday and 2 national events on saturday & sunday.
There will be 3 events for the FISTF circuit on May 2nd & 3rd. The Grand Prix of Argentina will be held in Rosario. Rosario has become the most important table football center in South America and the tournaments will definately be very exciting with all the top local players.
Scotland will have their very first Open in the city of Arbroath. Basically this was supposed to be a tournament for individuals and teams but it has been chanegd to a double tournament for individuals.
Finally, there will also be an Open in Traiskirchen, Austria. It is usually a very well organized tournament with players from several neighboring countries taking part.
On May 9th, the city of Belfast will host the only international tournament of the season in Northern Ireland. Don't miss the chance to attend it if you're in the area.
Last but not least, Helsinki will be host the Grand Prix of Finland on May 9th & 10th. This has become one of the best tournaments in the North of Europe and as the game is growing in Finland, it's worth a trip over there.
For more details about these events, check the calendar section of the newsletter or the FISTF website at www.fistf.com (or drop me a line).
Please note there will be many more tournaments later in May. It's worth a visit if you're in Foz do Douro (Portugal), Brussels (Belgium), Gibraltar, Athens (Greece), Limassol (Cyprus), Amadora (Portugal) or Bologna (Italy).

3. Arbroath IO
Please note the Arbroath IO (Scotland) was supposed to be for individuals and teams but due to the poor number of entries in the team event, it has been changed to a double tournament for individuals.

4. Grand Prix of Portugal
The tournament website is now up and running at http://apsubbuteo.home.sapo.pt/ofd/gpportugal/

5. 'The Hobby' can be seen by all
It's now possible to see Clifford Borg-Marks movie "the Hobby" live from
http://www.babelgum.com/html/clip.php?clipId=113338 "The Hobby is definately the best documentary ever about the history of table football.
Enjoy!

8. African Continental Cup
Clifford Graaff is bringing some good news about what's going on in South
Africa: "Sorry for the lack of communication from South Africa, however we have also not escaped the global financial crisis resulting in our local companies implementing various scenarios to insure economic viability.
Better news is that the table football scene is still very much alive and kicking. The Johannesburg TFC has now relocated and joined Panorama Sports Club where we have had numerous Friday Night Table Football games where the response has been overwhelming. We now average over 25 people every evening and the number is growing every time we play. Our next big FISTF tournament is the African Continental Cup (Afcon Cup 2009) on 14 June 2009 (in conjunction with the Confederations Cup). We are expecting our biggest field ever in South Africa with various players from fellow African countries entering. SATFA will definitely arrange table football games with the above people and really show them true South African hospitality."

Congratulations to both players. The full rankings can be downloaded from www.fistf.com

2. Qualified players for the World Cup

4. Diego Venegas dies in a car crash
On April 21st, Diego Venegas Marcos (41) died in a tragical car crash.
Diego was one of the biggest players in the history of the game in Spain as he won the largest number of national titles (1988, 1989,1990, 1992, 1993,
1994 & 1998) and he was also the first spanish player to win tournaments abroad, just like the famous "Guerin Sportivo" in Italy back in 1991. He was a player with a strong mood, very competitive and one of the most important players in the different clubs he played for (Sarriá CD, Putxet Panzers, Catalunya FT, ACS Perugia). It's definately a great loss for the game in Spain.

5. The Belgian Cup for Sami Targui
SC Charleroi player Sami Targui won the belgian national cup last saturday in Grimbergen. Targui beat Philippe Roufosse (SC Verviers) on shots after a
1-1 draw in the final. Brothers Geoffrey and Christophe Dheur lost in the semis. In the other categories, there was no surprise with the victories of favorites Steve Grégoire (veterans), Jérôme Herbecq (U19), Jérémie Gosset (U15), Robin Somers (U12) and Magali Doumont (Ladies).

This time, he beat clubmate Emmanuel Gorgette in the final while Françoise Guyot and Nicolas Lefebvre reached the semis. Amberny also won the "seniors" tournament. He beat Axel Donval in the final. Henri Cornu beat Serge Leroy in the veterans final.

7. Brazil at the world cup
The Subbuteo Brazilian league (LBS) has officially confirmed the participation of one player in the open category at the World Cup 2009 in Rotterdam. His name is Marcelo Lages Ramalhete from CR Vasco da Gama team. This is the first time Brazil - And South America in general - is coming to a major FISTF event in Europe.

8. Brazil: new club in Bangu
The table football club of Bangu AC has started a subbuteo section last week-end. The game of table football in brazil is very different as the one we have in FISTF but there are some players interested to play subbuteo or "sports table football" right now. The tournament for beginners was very interesting with a lot of enthusiasm from the different players taking part and and there are big hopes that further developments will come to something big in the club and in the whole Subbuteo Brazilian league.

6. Afcon Cup report (by Clifford Graaff) AFCON 2009 – a remarkable table football success story.
On the 14th of June 2009, the South African Table Football Association
(SATFA) hosted their first African Continental Cup – AFCON CUP 2009 – at the Panorama Sports Club in Roodepoort, Johannesburg. AFCON 2009 was held to culminate with the opening of the first ever Confederations Cup to be held on African soil. AFCON 2009 and was held under the auspices of the Federation International Sports Table Football (FISTF).
A record field of 32 participants entered with 8 tables hosting top quality table football for the entire day.
This record manifests the dedicated work and time that SATFA has invested in building table football at grass roots level. SATFA also proudly unveiled their official logo and mascot.
Referees were appointed for each game and all games on the 8 tables began and ended at the same time.
The following categories were offered : Under 9, Under 12, Ladies, First Time Flickers and Seniors.
After the initial round the finals were contested in the above categories.
In the Ladies section Gillian Graaff claimed the title by defeating newcomer Angie du Toit by 1 goal to nil in a very entertaining final.
In a very competitive Under 9 category, the ever improving Slade Livesey claimed a deserved title by beating close friend Anthony Davies on penalties by three goals to one.
In the Under 12 category, Max Silber claimed yet another FISTF title by accounting for Kevin Graaff by one goal to nil.
The First Time Flickers category proved to be an extremely tight and competitive category. Tony Funani accounted for Roger Livesey on penalties in the first semi-final and Shaun Majennote defeated Wessel van der Merwe by the odd goal in two keenly contested games. The final also proved to be a very tight game with both defences reigning supreme on the day and forcing the game into a shootout. Shaun's goalkeeping was in top form and he kept a clean sheet and scored a solitary goal to claim the silverware.
In the senior category Clifford Graaff faced his younger brother, Shane in the first semi-final which resulted in comfortable win for the older sibling. The second semi-final saw Sean Morgan taking on the ever improving Jason Kennedy. This was a repeat of last year's SA Open Final. Sean's superb close control resulted in a resounding four goal success.
The first ever African Continental Cup Final saw the top two seeded players in South Africa battling it out for the coveted trophy. The Afcon Cup final saw these two players appearing against each other for the fourth time in a FISTF final.
The final proved to be a very tactful game with neither playing wanting to make any mistakes to give the advantage to the opposing player. Sean eventually broke the deadlock with a precise one-two after a great build up to score the opening goal of the final. Sean almost doubled his lead halfway through the second half only to be caught off-sides. With only a few minutes left on the clock Clifford equalized after a flowing move from a goal kick. He managed to squeeze the ball past Sean on the near post.
Both players then settled for a draw and prepared for the dreaded penalty shoot-out.
Sean started the shoot-out in awesome fashion by scoring from his first flick. Clifford matched Sean until the third kick which Sean cannoned off the cross-bar much to the relief of Clifford. Clifford then slotted his third to take a slight advantage. Both players then traded goals on their fourth flick. Sean's fifth flick was then well saved by Clifford to secure Clifford his first AFCON title and fourth FISTF title.
Two special awards were also handed out at the prizegiving, along with all the category winners :
- Goal of the Day : Wessel van der Merwe
- Chairman/Janus Gersie Fairplay Award : Roger Livesey
- Afcon Ladies Champion : Gillian Graaff
- Afcon Under 9 Champion : Slade Livesey
- Afcon Under 12 Champion : Max Silber
- First Time Flickers Afcon Champion : Shaun Majennote
- Afcon Senior Champion : Clifford Graaff

7. Australia: a new future?
In the late 80's and early 90's, Australia had a great circuit of tournament and several clubs organized in different areas. For different reasons, there has been no FISTF tournament in Australia since 1994. Rob Smith's presence in the recent FISTF Satellite in Singapore might encourage more players to play at local or natonal level. A meeting will be organized in a couple of weeks in Sydney and players from all areas are welcome to show interest.

1. Another success for Leitner
Once again, the Austrians dominated the Open of Rain (Germany) last week-end. The team of Mattersburg dominated the team event on saturday (3-0 in final against Milano) while Wolfgang Leitner beat teamate Thorsten Korzil (3-1) in the Open final. Efrem Intra and Gianluca Galeazzi were the semi-finalists. Erich Hinkelmann won the veterans while Dominik Schulz was the best U19 player. 40 players from 4 nations were present.

2. First title for Marain
Geoffrey Marain (Templeuve) won his first international title this sunday at the FISTF Future tournament in Meslin, Belgium. The Templeuve player won by a single goal to Ralf Gregoire (1-0 in sudden death). Elodie Bertholet and Pol Serwy reached the semis. Pol Serwy also took the veterans title while Kenny De Schuyteneer won the U15 section.

3. Open of Napoli
The right date for the Open of Napoli is now October 3 & 4.

4. Open of Limassol
After some confusion, the results of the Limassol Open finally arrived to FISTF. 16 players were taking part and Giorgos Zangylos won another trophy.
Marcos Kalopsidiotis was the losing finalist (3-2). To be noticed that George Vassiliades, who usually lives in California (USA), was there on holiday and managed to take part. George reached the semi-final but lost to Zangylos (3-1).

5. Problems with @fistf.com addresses
There are some technical problems with the @fistf.com addresses since tuesday. Hopefully the problems will be sorted out in the next few hours as we are trying to find solutions. Any correspondance to the FISTF Board can be sent to vincent.coppenolle@assur.cbc.be

7. Swedish TV films english subbuteo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deZD7fvNKjg&feature=related is a documentary about subbuteo players in England. It was made for a swedish TV. It's the first time we get so much attention from this country.

8. England: a new Board
The ESTFA held the AGM last week-end in Tingwell. The new Board was elected as follows: Chairman - Mike Parnaby, michael.parnaby@ntlworld.com ; England Captain and vice-chairman - David Pawsey, david.pawsey@blueyonder.co.uk ; Fixtures Secretary - Jeremy Bradley, Jeremybradley49@yahoo.co.uk ; Treasurer - Paul Lloyd. Gary Pearson has kindly agreed to continue his great work on the website. Martin Hodds has agreed to assist Jeremy with various aspects of the new English Circuit. The ESTFA newsletter is no more, and will be replaced by a new newsletter called Subbuteo England ( http://www.subbuteoengland.co.uk).

Jeremy will be working to get the English Circuit events confirmed before the end of August. The Circuit will consist of 6 events and will include FISTF events as well as Opens. Memberships will remain at £7 and I urge all English players to join the ESTFA come September. The meeting was very positive and the Board has a clear vision of where we want to go. What we need is for the players to support our decisions and help us move the ESTFA forward.

1. Perugia and Leitner are the kings of Mattersburg The last FISTF Major of the season took place this week-end in Mattersburg (Austria). The tournament was first class with many of the world's top players. On saturday, the team event was played by 22 teams. In the semis, both games ended on goal-average. Perugia beat the home team of Mattersburg while Pisa beat Milano. In the final, Perugia gave no chance to Pisa. De Francesco's team won by a clear 2-0.

On sunday, the open tournament was also full of surprises. Francesco Mattiangeli managed to win his group (Eric Verhagen's group). The Italian was in a hot day. He beat Lucio Canicchio in quarter-final but lost int he semi to Efrem Intra. The other semi-final was a Mattersburg affair with Wolfgang Leitner's victory on Eric Verhagen. in the final, Wolfgang Leitner beat Efrem Intra in the sudden death (3-2).

Int he other categories, the winners were Alexander Haas (U19), Valentina Bartolini (ladies) and the surprising Jiri Cevela from Czech Republic in the U15 section. Cevela beat Andrea Manganello in the final (1-0).

In the veterans, the first surprise of the day was Erich Hinkelmann's losses in the group stage. The world number 1 couldn't qualify in a group with Gianluca Galeazzi and Massimo Conti. Gianluca Galeazzi later reached the final but at this stage of the tournament, he lost to a very strong Günther Bamberzky (2-3). Bamberzky had previously beaten Stefano De Francesco in the semi-final.

2. Italy: 3° Trofeo Comune Di Scansano
Gianfranco Calonico (Master Sanremo) won the tournament or Scansano last sunday. He beat Mauro Petrini (Real Maremma) in quarter-final, Diego Tagliaferri (SS Lazio) in semi and Simone Lazzarini (B&B Pisa) in final (3-1).

7. USA: Swiss players in California (by Simon Hutchinson) The Southern California Subbuteo Club welcomed their first international visitors on Sunday August 9.  Trishaand Thomas Baumelerare members of the Subbuteo Players Aargau Süd, Switzerland.  They had taken time away from their vacation to the south western USAto take on the best in California.
It was an opportunity for the SCSC members to play FISTF ranked players and see how good, or bad, they are.

Thomas drew with Wayne Smith, the best player in California, and beat the rest of the Californians. Twelve year old Trisha proved a tough adversary with her accurate flicking, which impressed her opponents.  She opened the day with a single goal victory over Dominic Hutchinson.  The next two games proved tougher as she lost to both Smith and Steve Tucker.  One goal was enough to beat Kevin Nieman.  Trisha conceded an early goal to Simon Hutchinson, and equalized early in the second half.  She snatched victory with a goal with only 50 seconds left for her third win of the day.

Both of the visitors were impressed by the hospitality of their hosts.
"Players were unbelievably nice and very hospitable. We very much enjoyed playing Subbuteo in this this beautiful environment. Cordial thanks to the Southern California Subbuteo Club." was Thomas comments on the Subbuteo Players Aargau Süd's web site.

1. Open of Mar del Plata (report by Claudio Miscia) Claudio Miscia won the first International Open of Mar del Plata (Argentina). The final was played against the Argentine Champion, Fabrizio Bertolini, who also won the first Provincial Argentine tournament (Santa Fe, 1-8-2009). The regular 30 minutes ended 1-1 and Miscia's Golden Gol was scored after 3 and a half minutes of the extended time. Plate medal to the local best player, Sergio Pelle, and 4th place to Gustavo Di Giannantonio, from Asociación Subbuteo Rosario 2008, as well as Miscia, Bertolini and 5 players more, who travelled more than 700 km to play the competition.
The 15 players (2 of whom didn't show up) played 21 games and scored 66 goals. Many thanks to the Casa de Italia (Home of Italy), who hosted the competition, to the Italian Consul to Mar del Plata, who offered breakfast, lunch and spumante to all participants and to the public, and also to Ana Paula Ras Vitiello, Miss Italy in Argentina, who presented the Golden Medal to the winner.
Claudio Miscia, who obtained his first success in a FISTF open competition, will represent Argentina in the Veterans category at next World Championship to be held in Holland on next september.

2. England: Liverpool Open (by Algy Taylor) On Saturday 19th September we'll be hosting a tournament in the birthplace of the game we know as Subbuteo/Sports Table Football (way back in 1927) - Liverpool!
The exact format of the competition is still to be arranged, although every player entering will be guaranteed 3 games, if all goes to plan then everyone should get far more than that. Although ultimately the competition will involve someone winning it, it'll be primarily aimed at everyone involved having a whole heap of fun! We also hope to incorporate a good, old-fashioned sit down meal for everyone in the middle of the day - the venue has it's own bar and restaurant - which will hopefully bring out the whole social aspect of the game a little bit more. That is, after all, why most people play!
Anyway, on to the nitty gritty details - the venue is Greenbank Sports Academy, located around 2 miles east of the city centre. It's a short drive from the M62 for those coming by car. There's plenty of free car parking space at and around the venue. If you prefer public transport, Mossley Hill railway station is a pleasant 1 mile walk or you can catch a bus from the city centre - it's a five minutely service!
In case you need accommodation, there's some available on site from £20 a night including breakfast. Liverpool's got a cracking nightlife and there's plenty to see & do on Sunday if you fancy a bit of sightseeing!
Particularly true if you're a Beatles fan - Penny Lane & Sgt Peppers'
Bistro are spitting distance from the venue.
Email back at algytaylor@gmail.com if you need any more details. Entry fee's £10, half price for under 16s and the unemployed.

7. USA: california State Championship
The third annual California State Championship was played on Saturday August 15 in Simi Valley.
This year's winners were:
- State Champion - Wayne Smith
- Missions trophy - Jason Mitchell
- Sierras trophy - Dominic Hutchinson
Smith crushed all before him and won the State Championship for the third straight year.
Mitchell pipped Kevin Nieman and Simon Hutchinson in the last round of games to take second place and the Missions trophy.
Dominic Hutchinson was awarded the Sierras trophy as the only under 19 player present at the tournament.  He also deserves an honorable mention for his performance as he lost all of his games by only one goal.
