Someone Built A Foosball Table Longer Than A City Block And Invited 48 Countries To Play
On July 19, 2026, Teremana Tequila unveiled the world's longest foosball table at Brooklyn Navy Yard near the New York City waterfront, and then invited the general public of Brooklyn to grab a handle and play on it. The table stretched 525 feet, or 160.04 meters, longer than the average city block, and roughly the equivalent of 112 standard foosball tables placed end to end, surpassing the previous record of 497 feet and 8 inches set in Turkey in 2023. Guinness World Records adjudicator Michael Empric was on site for the attempt and said the table was very impressive in person, as it spanned more than a city block. Attendees were given multicolored jerseys with removable national flag patches that could be swapped depending on who you wanted to represent, and when the crowd gathered around the full length of the table, 48 different countries were represented among the players. Comedian Jay Pharoah provided live play-by-play commentary from the sideline. Dwayne Johnson, who founded Teremana in 2020, did not attend, but he signed the table before the event.
Richard Black, CEO of Teremana, said in a statement that mana, meaning good spirit, has always been at the heart of the brand, and that the World Table was designed to bring that energy to life during one of the biggest sporting moments of the year by creating an opportunity for fans from 48 nations to celebrate their shared passion, connect across cultures, and make history together. The event was timed to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup running across cities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, giving the record attempt the feel of a neighborhood celebration of the global game using the most accessible version of the sport imaginable. What happened after the record was certified may be the best part of the story: rather than disassembling the table and storing it, Teremana broke it down into regulation-size foosball tables and distributed them to clients and nonprofits across the country, so the record-breaking table that brought 48 nations together in Brooklyn for one evening ended up scattered in community centers and social spaces across the United States, still being played on by people who may never know they are spinning a rod from the longest foosball table in history.
