What is needed?		How are the structures?		Development. Education.
According to the domestic laws, you need to create the statutes of the club (association) which are the constitution and guarantee a democratic association.		The Board of Directors lead and organise the domestic association, create a budget for national championships and Knock-out Cup competitions and other national tournaments		Sports table football needs to be made known, developed and educated in your country. Media presence is necessary.
A Board of Directors (see above) must be elected to lead the association properly according to the statutes. Respect your domestics laws for club (association) registration.		The national teams for all categories are nominated by qualification of the national champions, cup winner and by a “team manager”.		Sponsor partners need to be motivated to support national championships and YOUTH work. Youth are the main basement of an association. Concentrate on youth departments and events.
The FISTF Statutes, Handbook, Tournament organisation guide and the sports playing rules are to be accepted to guarantee best competition values for all participants.		Leagues are to be created. Possible with promotion and relegation systems, or per yearly weekend championships or with a tournament structure consisting of 3-10 events a year.		Depending on the size of a country, budgets for travel issues are to be considered. Several big countries have time zones and therefore regional development needs to be implemented. That will lead to a yearly domestic/national) championship system.
