Karlsruhe, Germany
Last Saturday, 11 players from different nations met in Karlsruhe, germany, for a wonderful day of Subbuteo. "There were some old faces but there were also some new players. That is the most important thing and the main goal to show the game to others and that's why we organize WASPA events", commented Milan Knezevic, the happy organizer of the tournament. "Results are not important. The important thing is that we meet from different cities and that we had a wonderful day.
