Regional Stiga Table Hockey Contact Persons

Players from new table hockey nations often have a hard time because they have very few skilled players to train with.
At the same time, people today travel more than ever before. In view of this, the ITHF has created this list of regions
where table hockey is played, including a contact person for each area. The idea is that, with this information,
table hockey players will know whom to contact when travelling to a particular area, so that a training session or
tournament can be set up. We think this will make it easier for new areas to develop.

If you have any information to add to this list, or if any changes are necessary, please contact ITHF Executive Committee.
