FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INDEPENDENDENT FOOSBALL PROMOTIONS (IFP)

ANNOUNCES THE

$25,000 12th ANNUAL SUPERBOWL OF FOOSBALL

- Kentucky Tournament Gains International Attention -

LEXINGTON – All over the world, athletes are
training, conditioning and studying each other's moves in preparation for an
incredible sports event: the 12th Annual Superbowl of Foosball.  Yes, you read that right: Foosball.  To be held January 26-29 at the North
Lexington Holiday Inn, this event is expected to draw approximately 300 of the
best foosball (a.k.a. "table soccer") players in the nation, and
numerous top international players as well.

This year’s Superbowl of Foosball will also feature announcement
by the United States Table Soccer Federation (USTSF) of those players named
to the U.S. National Team.  The
National Team, composed of six men, two women and two alternates (one male/one
female), will be representing the United States at the International Table
Soccer Federation (ITSF) World Cup of Table Soccer Championship to be held
25-28 May in Hamburg, Germany.  And
while the United States is not anticipated to match up against top world
competition in the “real” World Cup of Soccer (also being hosted in
Hamburg, Germany), the Americans are expected to field the strongest table
soccer team in history!

Already, avid foosball enthusiasts will be closely watching the Kentucky
tournament’s possible match-ups between Belgian superstar Frederico Collignon, 29, who has
dominated global competition for the last seven years, and Americans Billy
Pappas, 21, of Deacut, MA and Tony Spredeman, 21, of Cudahy, WI.  Pappas and Spredeman,
the only two to have handed Collignon defeats in
recent major international events, will be joined in this tournament by at
least 300 male and female competitors vying for a total of $25,000 in cash and
prizes.

Now recognized as an ITSF Master Series event, the annual Superbowl of
Foosball has even been elevated to international tour status.  The tournament is organized by
Kentucky’s own Independent Foosball Promotions and sanctioned by both
USTSF and ITSF; and with other ITSF 2006 World Tour events scheduled to take
place in Las Vegas and in Austria, Canada, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Japan,
Poland and the UK, this year’s tour will be the largest worldwide table
soccer pro tour ever.  It is open to
all spectators and there is no admission fee to enter the tournament room.  Opening events begin at 1:00 p.m. on
Thursday, January 26th, with most finals occurring on Sunday the 29th.
