The Subbuteo World Cup is held in its birthplace, Tunbridge Wells, England. The three-day competition lasts has two categories, 'old school' and 'modern', with 300 players from 26 countries expected to show up and compete. Stewart Grant, an organiser, says the the number of members in clubs grew "tenfold" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Simon Goodman, another organising member, who is also representing England as a player, expresses disbelief at the scale of the event. "There's no way I would have dreamt of us holding a competition like this in this country five years ago." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
