Table football, also called table soccer, and known as babyfoot in French, Kicker in German, calciobalilla or biliardino in Italian, futbolín in Spanish, bordfodbold in Danish, and foosball /ˈfuːzbɔːl/ in North American English, is a table-top game that is loosely based on association football (soccer).[1] The aim of the game is to move the ball into the opponent's goal by manipulating rods which have figures attached. Although rules often vary by country and region when the game is played casually, at the competitive level table soccer is played according to a unified code.
