The Heineken Foosball Tournament aims at challenging our consumers to demonstrate their skills and talent.”1779419_10152404644331414_2126142690_nFoosball is a game played all over the world, often in bars, whose history dates back to 1923. In the game opponents stand on either side of a table fitted with miniature footballers, goals and a ball, and attempt to score goals.  The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible within a given time frame by moving the bars on which the miniature footballers are fitted to strike the ball into the opponent’s “net.” The winner is determined when one team scores a predetermined number of goals.975810_10152404641811414_1414397454_nDuring the Heineken Foosball Tournament, consumer activations at selected premium nightlife spots will run to reward Heineken® consumers and give football fans the opportunity to win exclusive Heineken® UEFA Champions League merchandise.1082673_10152404642201414_1674592708_nThe Heineken brand, which bears the founder’s family name – Heineken – is available in almost every country across the globe and is the world’s most valuable international premium beer brand.
