We are pleased to announce that the British Foosball Association (BFA) has appointed Roberto Sport as official sports equipment partner, together with Roberto’s exclusive UK and Ireland distributors, Ransome Sporting Goods (RSG).
The Roberto Sport Revolution table is an Official Table of the International Table Soccer Federation. Revolution tables will be used by the BFA for tournaments in the UK from the start of 2022.
Roberto and RSG are also working closely with the BFA in the implementation of development programmes to increase the participation in the table football, with a focus on taking the sport to schools throughout the UK.
Ransome Sporting Goods, as official distributors, are holding a wide range of Roberto table football tables in stock in their Teesside warehouse. These are being made available to prominent sporting goods retailers throughout the UK.
The Chair of the BFA, Will Hawkes, said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with such well-established companies. For almost 75 years Roberto Sport have been manufacturing quality football tables in Lessolo, near to Turin in Italy; RSG, who started in the sport distribution business in 1979, is one of the UK’s leading sports equipment suppliers with a particular strength in the school and retail markets, which bodes well as we take foosball out to children and young people.”
Alan Ransome, Managing Director of Ransome Sporting Goods, said “We are very pleased with the progress which has been made with the sales of Roberto table football tables over the last three years. We have been able to establish the Roberto brand not only with British Foosball Association but with several leading sporting retailers in the UK and I am confident that the new relationship with the BFA will be a win-win situation for all parties. We look forward to working closely with Will and his colleagues in the development of what is a very popular sport across the whole country.”
