Hünfeld – A premiere is coming up in the Hünfeld market hall: On Saturday (June 27th) a human table football tournament will be held in front of the old locomotive shed in Hünfeld, in keeping with the Football World Cup.

However, this is a challenge because each player in the human football table has their hands fixed to one of the three poles per team. So you can only move together to the right and left, similar to a table football figure. “For success, team spirit is just as important as coordination and a good feel for the ball,” explains Mayor Benjamin Tschesnok.

He himself will try out the human kicker and is looking forward to its premiere in the market hall. The event begins with an opening game at 12:30 p.m. The tournament for children and young people up to 15 years old starts at 1 p.m. We are looking for youth teams from sports clubs, children's and youth fire departments or school classes, among others.
