Dress Code Info for all ITSF World Championships Series tournaments, and as recommended for all ITSF sanctioned events worldwide
Dress Code examples (from ITSF website)
Dress Code Background:
The ITSF is organizing foosball as a sport in accordance with International Olympic Committee guidelines that all IOC recognized sports must meet. Similar to the way the IOC has a requirement that a common set of rules be developed to govern sanctioned play (which is why we have ITSF rules used throughout the world instead of each country having its own differing set), the IOC has a rule that you be able to differentiate the sport's participants from spectators. The way ITSF is doing that is by the "athletic attire" dress code. It isn't necessarily about neat dress etc, but if they allowed jeans and cargo pants and clothing like that then the players would look like spectators.
