England hosts the 2024 Eland Cables FISTF World Cup in Tunbridge Wells on 20-22 September. Such an iconic venue prompted the English Subbuteo Association to host a parallel event to celebrate the Subbuteo heritage. We are excited to announce that the Subbuteo Old School World cup will hold a team event that will take place at the Tunbridge Wells Royal Victoria Place shopping centre on Sunday 22nd September.

The Event Format
​
Each table will be equipped with pitches belonging to a specific Subbuteo era. This living museum will connect players and public with the history of Subbuteo and Tunbridge Wells’ Subbuteo production. ESA will issue the list of the range of approved playing figures together with the rules of the game. They are based on the 1974 Advanced Rules that expanded defensive blocks in all phases of a match making the traditional game more dynamic. This set of Old School rules will be followed for all the 3-day’s events. Each day will culminate in a presentation of trophies and medals.
