The aim of the ITSF is to represent the sport of Table Soccer and defend its interests and relations with national and international sport authorities and institutions. In October 2017, the ITSF has been recognized as Observer Member by the GAISF - Global Association of International Sport Federations - composed of autonomous and independent international sports federations and other international organisations contributing to sport in various fields. Since 2020, we are also members of the TAFISA – The Association For International Sport For All, and of the AIMS – Alliance of Independent Recognised Members of Sport, as observer. You will find enclosed the certificate and the letters as proofs of our current status. Our mission is to develop and promote Table Soccer without discrimination of any kind, in close cooperation with the local actors and partners. Table Soccer is a very popular practice and we truly believe that your country has a great potential for the development of our sport. Our main concern is to preserve the link between the recreational aspect of the game and the high-level sporting activity. We want to keep sight of the spirit of our game, which is highly inclusive by its nature. For this purpose, we created a Federation Support Package (documentation enclosed), which is a tool to support the growing of Table Soccer from a leisure activity to the official sport recognition. The Ministry of Culture and its members, are eligible to apply for this support. We will be happy to work closely with you in order to organize, develop and recognize the sport of Table Soccer in Estonia. We will be happy to discuss the matter further and to include national actors of Table Soccer in the process. Please find enclosed a letter from ITSF President Mr Farid Lounas for your attention.

In the Federation Package enclosed, you will find a short introduction to our sport, as well as a presentation of the development device. If you need additional information, feel free to get in touch with our ambassador Victor Derouet, who will be happy to answer your questions. Our sport has something unique that sets it apart from all the other ones. Even with a high competition structure, very organized and mature, it is still a playful and pedagogical game, very easy to practice by people of any age or aptitude. It has also a huge logistics and environmental advantage, as the only equipment required is a table. This is also for those reasons that the ITSF has a partnership with organisations such as TAFISA or Peace and Sport, to spread the values of Table Soccer (discipline, learning, inclusion, socialization, fun, fair play and team spirit) and to develop activities with people and communities from all background. If you wish to join us in this project by involving your organisation in the official recognition of Table Soccer as a sport, we are confident that a close cooperation will benefit to both of us and lead to a strong development of our sport in your country.
