The WASPA circuit is present in any different countries. Sometimes we receive results from small events but even small tournaments are very important as they show the love and passion from players from many different places for our beautiful hobby. Every tournament is a chance to attract new players and to promote Subbuteo table football. Our doors are always open to organize more tournaments under WASPA banner! Here are the latest news from Finland, Australia, Wales, Romania, the USA, Cyprus and Belgium.
