OUR BABYFOOT TABLES: THE OFFICIAL COMPETITION TABLE
The B90 ITSF: the table of Champions!
Foosball is also a sport: Table Football. Table Football is a full-fledged sport with its own rules, competitions, clubs and champions. With players on all the inhabited continents, it has its own official bodies which handle administration and run competitions and events.
Our B90 ITSF is the only French professional competition table approved by the International Federation for all major national and international competitions.
TABLE FOOTBALL
Table Football is a sport for everyone - young and old, men and women alike. Wheelchair users can join the competitive community thanks to our leisure and competition models designed to accommodate their needs.
In France, competitive table football is managed by the FFFT (Fédération Française de Football de table) , and more than forty countries worldwide have their own federations, which are members of the ITSF (International Table Soccer Federation) , the body that promotes the sport’s international development and brings together players from around the world.
Bonzini has been the FFFT’s main partner since its creation and sells one of the 5 official international tables certified by the ITSF, . the B90 ITSF .
This model was based on extensive research and development undertaken in 2007 at the ITSF’s request by its 5 partner manufacturers, with the goal of achieving consistency across the different tables and international playing styles to include everyone in the sport while preserving the unique identity and features of each model.

ITSF-certified Bonzini equipment
ITSF wheelchair accessible competition table
The first wheelchair accessible competition table was designed to echo the look of the standard ITSF competition table but has open spaces under the table on the goal ends so players can move their wheelchairs without running into the legs.
The solution: each inverted J-shaped leg is shifted to the side, giving the table an elegant and original look with its sleek curves.
A version with transparent sides has also been developed to give seated players a clear view.

BONZINI MAGNESIUM ALLOY COMPETITION HANDLES
We have developed 2 magnesium alloy competition handles: the classic long handle and the snake handle. Magnesium alloy’s major advantage is the fact that it is 30% lighter than aluminium. That means players can turn the rods faster, a potentially decisive advantage in elite competitions where every detail counts. The designer touch: each handle is engraved with the “Bonzini” name.
These elegantly stylish handles can be installed on special and standard models alike.
