Charity auction featuring a soccer-playing table designed by Toni Kroos and Greifswald

In a unique and exciting turn of events, a special football foosball table, crafted especially for Toni Kroos, is set to be auctioned off. This one-of-a-kind piece, a testament to the football star's hometown pride, will help fund training camps and sportswear for children from low-income families in Greifswald.

The foosball table, a masterpiece created by Philipp Weitkamp Fairmittlung, boasts a distinctive design by Uwe Gildhorn. It showcases the Hanseatic colours, illustrations of typical Greifswald landmarks, and the number 8 on the back view of a footballer, a nod to Kroos' jersey number.

The table, made with high-quality materials such as beech and birch plywood and local beech wood for the feet, was crafted during a workshop involving people with disabilities. It stands at a sizeable 147 cm in length, 76 cm in width (130 cm including the longest foosball bar), and 93 cm in height, and weighs approximately 70 kg.

Toni Kroos himself played a game on this unique table during the award ceremony on July 18, 2025. After the game, he personally signed the table, making it a unique keepsake. Notable figures such as Minister President Manuela Schwesig and Mayor Dr. Stefan Fassbinder also had a turn on the table during the event.

The auction for this special item will take place on the website [www.zoll-auktion.de] from July 25, 2025. Proceeds from the auction will go to the "Stiftung kinderherz" organisation. The funds will be used to support children and youth sports in the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald.

Interestingly, the playing figures on the foosball table are in the colours of Greifswalder FC (formerly Greifswalder SC), the football club that Kroos was once active in. The club's colours of red and white are proudly represented on the table.

This auction presents a fantastic opportunity for football and foosball enthusiasts to own a piece of history while contributing to a worthy cause. So, mark your calendars for July 25, 2025, and get ready to bid on this one-of-a-kind Toni Kroos football foosball table!
