Lots of lies being told at and around the FISTF World Cup.
Which FISTF officials were banned from any association with Subbuteo by its manufacturers and distributors ?
Which FISTF official wanted to lift the organisation to another level and "get rid of the dinosaurs", only to do an about-turn when his friends stopped inviting them to their garage events ?
Which FISTF officials failed to maintain an asset register and let 1000s of euros worth of trophies become permanently lost ?
Which FISTF officials were responsible for the loss of UEFA and the UEFA Champions League as a sponsor ?
Which FISTF official stole 1000s of euros from the FISTF bank accounts, with all investigations stopped by his buddy, another FISTF official ?
Which FISTF official turned a blind eye to financial and regulatory requirements in England, Italy, and France, to save his mates' behinds ?
Which national federation president is being investigated by his country's taxation department about falsified government reporting ?
As predicted a few years back, FISTF is almost dead.
WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) is the true world body, they run for the game and the players, past, present, and future.
FISTF was growing into a professional and exciting entity on the world sporting stage. Now it is a sorry joke, thanks to the people who stabbed the president in the back.
