First November Results Show the Global Spirit of WASPA!

With the October rankings now published, the race for the November standings is officially underway. And what a start it has been!

One thing stands out immediately from these first results: WASPA is truly an international circuit. While England continues to provide many of our tournaments, the opening days of November have also brought results from Italy, Australia and South Africa, proving once again that tabletop football thrives far beyond British shores.

This is exactly what WASPA is all about. Whether you are organising a major regional event with nearly twenty competitors or a small gathering of clubmates looking for regular competitive games, there is a place for you in the WASPA family.


The largest tournament reported so far was the Pedmore Regional in England, attracting 18 players from several different clubs. The final delivered plenty of drama as Mick Hammonds and Richard Badger shared six goals in a thrilling 3-3 draw before Hammonds finally claimed victory during Golden Goal extra time. Elsewhere in Pedmore, Simon Bryan won the Plate competition, Richard Roper lifted the Shield, while young Leo Harrison earned praise for both his performances and refereeing duties to take the Under-16 title.

Italy also enjoyed a fantastic day of Subbuteo in Genova, where Club Rebels Genova brought together twelve players for a competition split into Gold and Silver Leagues. The Gold League title eventually went to Tommaso Sani, who edged out Samuele Bignardi in the final.

In Australia, the Western Flickers club celebrated the visit of Brisbane player Jordan Heal with a friendly but competitive tournament. Local player Benny Ng emerged victorious, while the return of Fauzi-Doreen Rahman after a lengthy absence was another positive story from the day.

South Africa continues to be one of the strongest WASPA communities outside Europe. At the South African Open Championships in Johannesburg, Ian Clarke confirmed his status among the country's leading players by defeating Gary Downs in the final. The event brought together players from both Easterns TFC and ETS Subbuteo Club, highlighting the healthy competitive scene developing in the region.

We were also delighted to receive results from several Club WASPA tournaments. Small-scale events from South Devon, Easterns in South Africa and Chasers in Dagenham show how players are increasingly using the WASPA framework to enjoy regular competitive action within their own clubs. These tournaments may be smaller than regional events, but they are every bit as important for keeping the game active and welcoming.

Finally, Italy also provided an Old Rules Tournament in Terni, where local legend Marco Perotti added another success to his impressive record.

As always, we'd love to see even more countries represented in future rankings. Remember that you do not need a large tournament to join the WASPA circuit. A handful of players, a few tables and a passion for Subbuteo are enough to become part of our worldwide community.

If your club is organising events, wherever you are in the world, send us your results. We are always looking to welcome new clubs, new organisers and new countries to the WASPA family!

WASPA standings as per October 2026

Dear friends,

We are pleased to publish the monthly update of the WASPA circuit.

PDF file with results: https://drive.google.com/file/d/118jxF7vMB3n1IDu9W08ksWoPVdaFMQpv/view?usp=sharing
Excel file with rankings:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vS_BowYmZ5Thb0Jox9Zw4PYiIp-bpR2D1zy4SwqAZ4mtOntNTr9ccKjmdvy_0_fMw/pub?output=xlsx

We have added 42 tournaments to the records, which were played as follows: 30 regional events, 7 Club WASPA events, 3 Old Rules tournaments, and 2 promotional events.


Tournaments were held in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, England, Ireland, Italy, South Africa, the Netherlands, and the USA.

We are seeing the development of Club WASPA events in England, which proves that players are eager to take part in WASPA tournaments.

There have been great steps forward in some countries. We are extremely excited to see the game return to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Gregorio Caro Solis organized the first event in the country for many years, and we hope this is the first step towards rebuilding the game in South America.

Some organizers run small but important events. When we receive results from Ireland, the USA, South Africa, Australia, or from isolated clubs in Italy, we are delighted to see the game alive in so many different places around the world.

Things remain strong in England, with some very large tournaments and highly regular events. No fewer than 21 events were held under the WASPA banner in England last month.

The latest rankings demonstrate that WASPA's growth is not limited to established centres such as England. The return of organized play in Argentina, continued activity in countries such as South Africa, Ireland and the USA, and the emergence of Club WASPA events show a circuit that is expanding both geographically and structurally.


Once again, we would like to emphasize that the WASPA circuit remains open to all clubs and players. If you would like to organize a WASPA tournament, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We remain at your disposal for any information.

Best regards,

Vincent Coppenolle
WASPA Organizer


More about the latest rankings

A few interesting trends stand out beyond the tournament count itself. 

England continues to dominate

The top of the individual ranking is heavily English. The top five players are Jason Christopher, Malcolm Jamieson, Richard Roper, Luca Lanzani and Ian Aggett, with four of the top five representing English clubs. Jason Christopher has built a remarkable lead with 689.1 points, over 150 points ahead of second place. 

Strong club structures are producing results

Several clubs have multiple players near the top of the ranking:

  • Jason Christopher, Andy McGovern, Chris Burford, Simon Hawley and others keep Solent Subbuteo Club highly visible throughout the rankings.
  • Worthing Fivestar, Chasers Club, Godiva Subbuteo Club, Yorkshire Phoenix and Dewsbury Moor TFC, and Morecambe Bay SC also place numerous players in the upper reaches of the rankings.

This supports your observation that England's regular calendar of events is creating a deep competitive base rather than relying on a handful of elite players.

International diversity remains healthy

Although England dominates numerically, the top 20 already include players from Scotland, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, Italy and Ireland. Players such as Eliot Kennedy (Australia), Jerrel van Keimpema (Netherlands), Ian Clarke (South Africa), Matthias Averlant (Belgium), Marco Perotti (Italy) and Mark Farrell (Ireland) show that competitive WASPA activity remains genuinely international. 

Australia is becoming a major force

Australia has several players in the top 100 and multiple active clubs, including Northern Falcons, Brisbane SC, Western Sydney Subbuteo, Melbourne TFC and Northern Phoenix. Eliot Kennedy is already ranked sixth worldwide. 

The Netherlands has impressive depth

While there is no Dutch player in the very top positions, Dutch clubs such as MVV Rijnmond and Dutch Legends have a remarkable number of ranked players spread throughout the rankings. Jerrel van Keimpema, Casey van Os, Rinaldo van Dijk, Marco de Bruin and others demonstrate a strong and sustainable player base. 

Argentina's return is already visible

One particularly positive story is the appearance of the new Buenos Aires players. Gregorio Caro Solís appears in the rankings with 25 points, while other players from Buenos Aires Table Soccer, including Geronimo Samienta, Patricio Echevarrieta and Christopher Wander, have also entered the ranking.

This is significant because it shows that Argentina is not just holding a single event. A new local player base is beginning to emerge.

New countries and developing regions matter

The rankings include players from countries that have relatively few events but remain active: South Africa, Ireland, New Zealand, Malta, Cyprus, Finland, Singapore, Japan and the USA among others.

That may actually be one of the strongest indicators for the health of the WASPA circuit. The ranking is not concentrated in only a few traditional countries but contains active players from every continent.

More WASPA Action Across Europe

First tournament of the season in Bande (Belgium)

The final days of October brought another busy spell on the WASPA circuit, with tournaments taking place in England, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy. Players continued to collect valuable ranking points ahead of the next rankings update, while new and younger players were also given opportunities to experience competitive table football.

Particularly encouraging was a promotional event in Lamezia, Italy, aimed at junior players. Such initiatives are important for the continued growth of the game and demonstrate the commitment of local organisers to attracting the next generation of competitors.

In England, strong regional participation was seen at Stourbridge, while Finchampstead hosted a club WASPA featuring players from Finchampstead SC and Solent Subbuteo Club. Elsewhere, competitive regional events took place in Bande (Belgium), Gouda (Netherlands), Catanzaro (Italy) and Lamezia (Italy).

As always, organisers are reminded that it is not too late to send in missing WASPA results for inclusion in future updates and rankings calculations. Please send the complete tournament results, not just the winner and podium places.

England and Italy Keep the WASPA Momentum Rolling

The opening weeks of October produced another excellent series of WASPA tournaments across England and Italy, with established champions, emerging talents and new clubs all contributing to the continued growth of the circuit.

Bellefontaine Triumphs in Leicester

The biggest event of the period was undoubtedly the Leicester Foxes Autumn WASPA Open, which attracted an impressive field of 24 players.

After several hard-fought knockout rounds, Elliott Bellefontaine emerged as champion. He defeated Nick Pearson 5-1 in the Last 16, overcame Graham Harwood 4-1 in the quarter-finals and then beat Richard Roper 3-0 in the semi-finals before edging Ian Aggett 3-2 in a thrilling final.

Aggett had reached the title match with victories over Paul Gildersleve, Simon Bryan and Michael Mayes.

Runner-up Ian Aggett (left)
The day also saw another success for the Bellefontaine family as Martin Bellefontaine lifted the Plate trophy, defeating Ian Sharp on shots. In the junior event, Jacob Hodds overcame George Donaldson after a closely contested two-legged final that was only decided on shots, highlighting two exciting young prospects for the future.

Consolation Success in Worthing

During the FISTF Satellite weekend in Worthing, two WASPA consolation events ensured every participant had further competitive opportunities.

In the Plate competition, Dutch player Rinaldo van Dijk impressed throughout the knockout rounds, defeating Adam Jackson 4-3 and Gary Gladwell 5-0 before beating Joe Parody 4-0 in the final.

The Shield event belonged to Andy McGovern. He defeated Tim Hill 3-0 in the quarter-finals, Nathan Holley 3-0 in the semi-finals and Joel Palmer-Jones 4-1 in the final to secure the trophy.

Sheffield Launches with Strong Attendance


A new WASPA venue was added to the calendar as Sheffield Flickers hosted its first WASPA evening.

Twelve players competed in a Swiss-format tournament and produced an entertaining night of action. Luca Lanzani made a flying start, scoring ten goals in his first two games before continuing his excellent form all evening to secure first place.

Simon Bryan finished second, ahead of Trevor Allen in third, with Gary Leitch and Andy Henly completing the top five.

The successful launch promises well for the future of competitive Subbuteo in Sheffield.

Craig Heward Dominates in Yorkshire

At the latest Yorkshire WASPA club night in Dewsbury, Craig Heward produced a commanding performance.

Winning every one of his matches, Heward finished five points clear of the field to take a convincing victory. The battle behind him was much closer, with only four points separating second place from eighth.

Luca Lanzani continued his excellent fortnight by finishing runner-up, followed by Kevin Adderley, Andy Boyer and Ian Sharp.

Gladwell Shines in Dagenham

Dagenham's October Club WASPA saw organiser Gary Gladwell claim both the tournament title and Player of the Week honours.

Gladwell defeated Joe Parody in a tense final decided on shots after a scoreless match. Adam Jackson secured third place with a 1-0 victory over Martin Colwell, while Mark West and Jonathan Beales won the fifth-place and seventh-place matches respectively.

Busy Weekend in Italy

Italian players were equally active with three WASPA events taking place.

In Genova, Samuele Bignardi emerged victorious after defeating Tommaso Sani in a final settled on shots. Alberto Capoferri secured third place by overcoming Luca Bignardi, while Samuele Corrias and Davide Balito claimed victories in the remaining placing matches.

Catanzaro saw Vittorio Giummo take first place ahead of Angelo De Santis, Antonio Di Lieto and Domenico Gigliotti.

Earlier in the week, a promotional event in Lamezia helped introduce more players to the WASPA scene, with Francesco Pujia claiming victory ahead of Gianpaolo Pulici and Domenico Gigliotti.

The WASPA Family Continues to Grow

From large regional tournaments such as Leicester to new initiatives in Sheffield and promotional events in southern Italy, the recent schedule once again demonstrated the strength and diversity of the WASPA network.

Congratulations to all organisers, hosts and competitors who continue to make these events possible and help the worldwide WASPA community grow week after week.

🇦🇷 Subbuteo is back in Buenos Aires!

After a long hiatus, table football returned to Argentina with the first WASPA tournament held in Buenos Aires.

Eight players came together for a memorable day of competition, friendship, and passion for the game.

A huge congratulations to Gregorio Caro, who not only helped bring the local community together but also won the tournament, defeating Gerónimo Sarmiento 1-0 in the final.

Well done as well to semi-finalists Patricio Echevarrieta and Christopher Wander.

This event could mark the beginning of a new era for Subbuteo in Argentina and perhaps across South America. We hope it inspires other groups of players to organize events and help our wonderful game continue to grow.

👏 Thank you to all participants for making a little piece of WASPA history!

Maryland Subbuteo Club Hosts October WASPA Event


The Maryland Subbuteo Club hosted a WASPA tournament on Saturday, October 3, featuring a four-player double round-robin format.

After a closely contested evening, the final standings were:

  1. Dan Cranston - 16 points
  2. Paul Eyes - 14 points
  3. Andrew Zunino - 3 points
  4. Michael Buccheri - 3 points

Having drawn their first encounter, the battle for first place came down to the final-round showdown between Dan Cranston and Paul Eyes. Dan secured the title with a 3-1 victory, including an unusual goal scored directly from a corner kick that deflected off Paul's goalkeeper and into the net.

The final round also saw Michael Buccheri claim a 1-0 victory over Andrew Zunino, earning his first win of the tournament.

Congratulations to Dan Cranston on taking the tournament victory, and thanks to the Maryland Subbuteo Club for hosting another successful WASPA event.
