Congratulations to the Ministry of Youth and Sports and to the National Federation of Somalia - Somali Table Soccer Federation and to its President, Mr Abdullahi Jeylani Mohamed for their commitment to develop Table Soccer in their country!
Table Soccer is now officially recognized as a Sport by the National Olympic Commitee. Table soccer has become increasingly popular in Somalia lately, as evidenced by the fact that the Somali Table Soccer Federation has recently joined the International Table Soccer Federation. Somalia's foos community is undoubtedly an incredible asset for the development of Table Soccer in the world.
If your federation is about to have foosball recognized in your country or if you need ITSF's support to reach this goal, let us know at info@tablesoccer.org

Where does the term “Monster-DYP” come from?
 
At the world record attempt, every group of a least 4 players can participate by playing a “Monster Draw Your Partner (DYP)” using the free App. This format is a single-player mode, but: super social and so much fun! Each player is assigned a new partner each round. And even during the elimination rounds, you will get new partners with each round you advance.
We can’t wait to play it soon, and up to now we only found one different name for this format: “Super-Mêlée” from the French game Pétanque!
More information on the world record attempt coming soon, you can follow the event here: https://bit.ly/2Mc20Hx
