Playing soccer is fun, but few of us can afford to spend our afternoons out on the football pitch like we could when we were kids. For one, most of us have to go to work when we could normally be playing, but standing up and running around in the hot sun is also something that isn’t doable for most of us older folks. Instead, one creation has come along to save the soccer-deprived, and without even forcing them to stand up and run.

The Subsoccer brand offers table-style soccer games that let two users duke it while sitting at either end of the table or field. Using their feet, two opponents sit with their legs under the table, kicking a miniature soccer ball toward each other’s goals. The result is perhaps the best yard game to come along yet, and hours of fun without having to do any of that dreaded cardio.

The Subsoccer field table includes a table-like structure with benches on either end where competitors can sit down and put their legs through to engage in gameplay. The field and goals are surrounded by netting to keep the ball in play, leaving only the ball, your legs and your opponents’ legs in the arena.

Subsoccer’s field of play is primarily offered in two gameplay table options, along with a third, more customizable option that can be ordered with specific branding, lights and other customization options.

The more affordable Subsoccer 3 option comes without the tabletop, and instead with subtle steel framing and plastic corners, offering a more lightweight overall build and a more approachable price point.

The custom branding and lighting options available with purchase of the Subsoccer 7 Custom are a great option for companies looking to game-ify their offices, or for football fans that want to support their teams while playing Subsoccer and watching the next World Cup.

No matter how you end up branding your Subsoccer 7 Custom, the lights will also give both players a leg up, so to speak, making it easier to see even if you find yourself playing by the poolside after dark.

On the creation of Subsoccer, founder Jarno Saarinen explained, “I was sitting on the balcony watching 2008 EURO’s game Spain vs. Russia on TV. My daughter Emma came to the balcony and said that she wanted to do something together. I started to think about activities we could do while I could still watch the game at the same time… I was too lazy to stand up so we started to kick a plastic ball to each other. As the ball went under my chair, my daughter started to celebrate. Suddenly, we realized that we had just discovered a new game.”

And if it isn’t quite what you’re looking for, it may be worth considering some of our other favorite yard game and soccer options on OddityMall, like this hover soccer hockey-like puck, these giant inflatable games, this giant soccer dartboard or the incredible inflatable bouncy shoes for giant soccer playing.
This tabletop football game is the perfect way to unwind, even while you do other activities like watch the big game, whether you’re watching your child’s soccer game at the park or you’re watching professionals from home. In any case, the Subsoccer tabletop soccer yard game is a great way to keep guests entertained and to practice your foot-eye coordination, without even having to stand up or run.
