Café Table Football With The Image Of Raymond Kopa: Model From The Lyon Brand Le Soccer

Café football table with the image of Raymond Kopa: This is a model from the Lyon brand Le Soccer. The partnership with Kopa probably lasted a short time in the early 1960s with a minimal quantity of table football tables on which the Kopa name was affixed. Georges Clerge sought to capitalize on this partnership by organizing a KOPA table football team championship. This was inspired by the format of bowling championships with district, then regional and national competitions. He had the ambition to internationalize the competition to open up new markets. The American newspaper Billboard relayed his approach in its edition of April 20, 1963. It is stated in the article that he planned to start by exporting his Kopa Soccer championship to West Germany "in the spirit of the Franco-German friendship treaty".
