Kansas City’s small business community is stepping up to the table - the foosball table, that is.

Join us for the first-ever KC Small Business Foosball Tournament, a light‑hearted, yet competitive, event designed to bring local businesses together for networking, celebrate KC’s global soccer energy, and raise funds for Global FC.

With only 28 teams competing and space for 70 attendees, this is an intimate, high-energy showdown you won't want to miss. The winning foosball team takes a foosball table signed by 2014 FIFA World Cup™ player, Graham Zusi (Yes — you each get your own table!) Signed soccer balls by Graham Zusi are up for grabs for second place.
