2021 National Champions Interviews

Jonathan Smith (ASA President): What were your expectations coming into the weekend of Nationals?

Patrick Sheridan (Colorado, Open Champion): I just wanted to see the newer Denver guys meet some of the older ASA guys, and to facilitate some new friendships being formed. For my own play, I hoped to get out of the group and if I was playing well with some good matchups, I thought it would be great to have a tight semi-final game and maybe make the final.

2021 ASA Nationals Planned for Denver

The American Subbuteo Association Board of Directors wishes all members a happy new year. The COVID pandemic made 2020 an extremely difficult year for everyone, including the ASA and the global subbuteo table soccer community.

But 2021 brings new hope. With the distribution of effective vaccines underway and a more vigorous institutional response to the raging pandemic being put into place, we believe that by late summer 2021 most Americans will have access to the vaccine.
