Build together, win together!
Statistically speaking, Bundesliga teams lose only around 25% of their matches in front of their home crowd, so playing in your own stadium can be a real advantage. Signal Iduna Park, the Allianz Arena and the rest were most definitely not built by the players on the pitch – but at our Kickerbau event, you get to build your own. So before kick-off, the grounds have to be built first.
We take care of the table football kits, the tools and a detailed video guide, so that you and your colleagues are perfectly equipped to build your stadiums. Then the teams get building – and the fastest team, of course, gets to play at home in the opening match.
Once every arena is standing and ready to play on, the competition begins. In a thrilling tournament with a group stage and knockout rounds, the teams now go head to head to decide who becomes table football champion. Our lively commentators are on hand throughout, to bring that match-day atmosphere to life.

How Kickerbau event (building your own table football table) works
Into teams, then on with the build
First we split the participants into several teams. Then it’s straight on with the building. Each team builds its own table, supported throughout by our trainers, who know the technical side inside out. Everything needed for the build is already waiting at the stations.
The team tournament: how it works
As soon as all the tables are finished and our team has checked that they work, the sporting part of the event begins. The groups quickly swap work shoes for football boots, and the tournament can kick off. In group and knockout stages the teams take each other on, fighting their way to the final. The golden cup is at stake in the grand final. And the burning question: which team gets to put it in their office?
Award ceremony and finale
To round it all off, the golden cup is presented to the winning team in style. Winners’ photo included. After that there’s still plenty of time to celebrate what you’ve achieved – and of course, you’re welcome to keep playing!
Practical skills, tactics and plenty of teamwork
Build It Like Beckham
Our Kickerbau event is a fun and varied team-building activity where the excitement builds as you go. Building together, then playing together, is an ideal way to encourage team spirit, communication and motivation.
The stadium comes to you
“Milan or Madrid – as long as it’s Italy!” What German footballer Andi Möller was really trying to say: our Kickerbau event can take place anywhere. We’re happy to bring the event to your workplace. At a conference hotel or out in the open air, this versatile event is just as good a mix of teamwork and competition.
Building for a good cause
Long after the team event is over, the tables you’ve built keep the excitement going in your workplace. True to the motto “Build, play, donate”, some of the tables can also be donated to social welfare organisations of your choice. Just talk to us.

Questions and answers about our Kickerbau event
How does this team-building event work?
After welcoming the group, we form several teams, and each one starts by building a table. In the second part of the event we play a small table football tournament together – after all, that’s part of quality control.
How long does a Kickerbau event take?
That depends on several factors, such as the number of participants, the number of tables to be built and how the tournament is set up. We’re usually busy building and playing together for around 3–3.5 hours.
How many tables will we build?
Depending on how much time you have, we recommend groups of five to ten people, with each group building one table together.
Where can we do this event? Does it work outdoors too?
We come to your workplace, a conference hotel or a venue of your choice. This versatile activity works outdoors too, and we simply put gazebos over the workshops.
Do we need any DIY experience to build the tables?
No, you don’t need any special experience. Thanks to detailed instructions, assembly tutorials and our guidance, building the tables is almost as easy as putting together a flat-pack bookcase from Sweden.
What happens to the tables after the team-building event?
What happens to the tables afterwards is up to you. Many of our customers donate the tables they’ve built to charitable organisations such as youth centres, primary schools or non-profit clubs. Most of the time, though, a few tables stay at the company too – in the canteen or the staff room, for example.
Is there a host as well?
Of course – we host the event for you. A table football tournament without a stadium announcer isn’t a proper tournament, is it? Professional sound equipment for the host is on the team sheet as well.
Can the tables be branded?
Of course – you can give the tables a finishing touch with your logo. Advertising can be added along the pitch-side barriers inside the arenas, and the outside panels can be customised too. Just talk to us!
Is there a prize for the winning team at this team event?
Yes, the winners receive a special golden cup.
Can you do this in English too?
Sure – we’re happy to run the team-building event in English for you.
