The first Subbuteo tournament ever in Mongolia

The final

July 20, 2023 will remain in the history of table football as the very first Subbuteo tablefootball tournament in Mongolia took place in the city of Gobi. We are extremely proud that the event was played under WASPA banner. 8 players from Mongolia and Malta were taking part under the guidance of Clarence Psaila who proved to be a great ambassador of the game during his stay in the country.

Clarence, who is also known as a chess player, introduced the game to the players of a chess club in Gobi, chess being one of the most famous hobbies in the country. After several days introducing the game, a total of 12 players had the chance to play games. Finally 8 players attended the tournament. After the group stage, Clarence Plasila defeated local player Tumendembrel Ganbaatar (2-0) to claim the title.

More importantly, there is real interest for the game as local players enjoyed themselves while some curious spectators showed real interest.

Thanks to Clarence Psaila for making thing happen.

Thanks to Josef Camilleri for the material support.

Thanks to Orgil Gantumur for hosting! 

There are now plans to collect material so that the newly-born "Dayan Khan Biligt Subbuteo club" can have another table and possibly develop the activity.
