Nuremberg – An exciting evening for sports enthusiasts and entrepreneurs: for the ninth time, one of the longest table football tables in the world was set up in the main branch of VR Bank Metropolregion Nürnberg. The annual foosball cup organized by Unternehmer ORANGE attracted around 150 guests from the worlds of sport and business to the 12.26-metre-long table – all for a good cause.

3,000 euros for a good cause

Thanks to entry fees and donations, a total of 3,000 euros was raised this year, which was handed over to the Barmherzige Brüder Gremsdorf disability charity. This impressive sum underlines the community spirit of the event and the great willingness to do something good. Six teams from the region took part in the tournament, including the defending champions Team Handwerk, the Nuremberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the HC Erlangen handball team, Post SV Nürnberg, the hosts Tullnau Kickers from VR Bank Metropolregion Nürnberg and the members of Unternehmer ORANGE, the initiator of the evening.

Action-packed games and special rules

The games offered action-packed matches in which the extraordinary XXL table football provided thrills. In each round, 30 balls were put into play at the same time, including five colored balls with which the teams could score extra points. Yellow balls counted for five points, the red one for ten. These special rules made for heated duels not only in front of the goals, but also in midfield, where the players gave their all to get the red ball into the opponent’s goal as quickly as possible. In the final, Post SV Nürnberg beat Tullnau Kickers with aplomb and secured the coveted challenge cup. Third place went to Team Handwerk, ahead of entrepreneurs ORANGE. HC Erlangen beat IHK Nürnberg in the match for fifth place.

Focus on fun and social commitment

For everyone involved, the focus was on having fun, as Sabine Michel from smic! , organizer of the tournament, emphasized:

“The fun of all the players, a relaxed evening with colleagues and friends is a great experience for everyone. The fact that 3,000 euros were raised in the end beats everything! “

Together with Dirk Helmbrecht, Chairman of the Board of Management of VR Bank Metropolregion Nürnberg, she presented the donation cheque to the Barmherzige Brüder disability charity in Gremsdorf. In addition to the XXL foosball table, the facility’s workshops also produce numerous classic foosball tables that are used in many youth clubs, clubhouses and other facilities in the region – a prime example of successful integration and social commitment.
