Foosball is making a big comeback
When Costa Rica native Carlos Cespedes Martinez cemented his place as one of the globe’s top table soccer players with a silver medal at the 2005 World Foosball Championships, many of his fans were proud – one in particular was simply ecstatic. Among Martinez’s biggest fans is online gambling pioneer and fellow Costa Rica resident Calvin Ayre. The CEO of Bodog.com announced Wednesday that he would be sponsoring the Costa Rican foosball sensation for a second year in a row.
"We are extremely proud to be backing Carlos once again. Carlos has a proven track record, and I anticipate great success at the upcoming VIFA International Championship," says Calvin Ayre, who also serves as Chairman of the Calvin Ayre Foundation, and was recently the subject of Forbes magazine cover story. "As I’ve always maintained, for most of us, foosball is a fun pastime, but when you see it played at its highest level – as Carlos plays it – you gain a higher appreciation for the game."
Martinez will be attending the 10th edition of the Valley International Foosball Association tournament (VIFA International Championship) at the Rivera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas from March 23-25, 2006. Source: www.bodogbeat.com
