Organized by Foosball Clubs USA, the event will feature eight tables and multiple tournaments over the course of three days. Professional players from Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin will be in attendance, adding to the competitive spirit of the event.

Josh Sarpy, the organizer of Foosball Clubs USA, expressed his excitement for the event, stating that they hope to reintroduce foosball to both seasoned players and newcomers in New Ulm. With foosball tables set up at various locations around town, including the Rec Center, Schell’s Brewery, and the Best Western, the organizers are determined to bring foosball back to the forefront of recreational activities in the area.

The ultimate goal of the event is to bring back a foosball state tournament to Minnesota, a feat that has not been accomplished in around 15 years. Curt Van Asten, General Manager of Schell’s Brewery, commended Sarpy for his passion and dedication to the sport, noting that the event is a collaborative effort to bring something unique and exciting to the community.
