The founder of Foosball Dunedin — understood to be New Zealand’s first foosball club — has searched for people who share his passion. "While many Kiwis come in touch with foosball as children, few have ever played on an official competition foosball table, which allows faster yet more controlled playing than on a common table," he said. Paul Szyszka has started a foosball club in Dunedin. Dr Szyszka said players could develop their skills quickly but the learning curve never ended. "Foosball is a great team sport for which you do not need to be athletically gifted to play, and it provides heaps of entertainment without a hangover," Dr Szyszka said.
