About Subbuteo Tradizionale
The article highlights that traditional Subbuteo uses classic HW bases from the 1970s–80s or faithful modern reproductions. Their smaller diameter and sharper profile make the game more demanding but also faster and more dynamic. The distinctive “back al volo” rule encourages attacking play and quick ball movement, creating an exciting spectacle for players and spectators alike.
Looking Ahead
- The next Endurance event in Brescia is scheduled for 23 August.
- After that, attention will turn to the XXXL Memorial in Macerata, organised by Old Lions Macerata, featuring a 72-player field and expected to be one of the season's major traditional Subbuteo events.
