World Cup Soccer is Great for Foosball!

The World Cup of football (soccer for us Americans) is happening. The hype is real and millions will be watching and rooting for their favorite teams and players. Four years ago I recall the interest in foosball while the matches were being played. We can use this to our advantage when we are out and about playing our own matches.

There are millions of people living in the greater Phoenix area but there is a minor percentage of those people who play foosball. This World Cup gives us an opportunity to change that, to influence people, to entice new players to become involved. Please be aware of the new spectators. Be prepared to answer questions and pique some interest. Invite them to play, to visit the arizonafoosball website, to somehow get involved!

Wouldn't it be great to double or triple our player base? What kind of fun would it be to have foosball tables nearly everywhere and people learning, participating, funding, and driving even more interest in the bar sport that we love (and hate) so much!

So head's up, be approachable, be friendly and big things can happen!
