New Record Attempt: Table Football Marathon in Hungarian Capital on 16 May
Heineken is organising a table football record attempt on May 16, 2026, at Erzsébet Square in downtown Budapest, two weeks before the UEFA Champions League final at Puskás Aréna.

The all-day event centres on Hungary's largest foosball table — 7.2 metres long — where two teams of 11 players each compete in 5-minute shifts until 19:00. Adults over 18 can register on site and join spontaneously formed teams, no prior coordination needed.

The Champions League trophy will be available for photos, with some participants in draw for Puskás Arena final tickets. Heineken aims to set a national record for continuous play and total participants, verified by the Hungarian Record Association.
 

Table football's appeal lies in replicating soccer's intensity and team spirit on a compact scale. The event takes place in front of Erzsébet Square's Ferris wheel.

Registration available here
