Rafał Chochół
Club vice-champion of Poland. Player of the Cracow Table Football Club and regular participant in the Puchar Sołtysa. Has been playing table football for over 10 years.

Toughest opponent of your career?
The most difficult opponent for me is Grzegorz Zawiłowicz. It was thanks to him that I got into this discipline and, since he was the one who introduced me to the secrets of all kinds of games from the very beginning, he knows my good and weak points very well.
Toughest match during Pucharu Sołtysa?
The toughest match for me was in the Open Singles competition against a player from the Czech Republic. It was Radek Drda. Unfortunately, this duel ended in my defeat, I succumbed in the fifth set, in an advantage. The defeat hurt even more because I was satisfied with my game, so I learned from this duel.
Favourite technique/play?
Not counting the basic shot (snake), which I use in 90 % on the tee, it will be any shot or pass through the bunch. It's simply spectacular, which is what I sometimes miss about the sport.
Favourite table?
I don't have one. Every table has something about it. In fact, it would be easier for me to identify which table I don't like to play on. 😂
Favourite foosball competition?
It's definitely an FSO that is all about scoring 'penalties' against each other, so efficiency counts, because in the end 'there are no well-defended penalties, there are badly scored ones'.
Biggest career success?
My biggest success is being runner-up in the Polish club championships. At the time I was also acting as a selector, so it is doubly pleasing. However, as far as an individual achievement is concerned, I would rather recognise winning the pairs ama competition during the tournament in Szeligi with Jacek Fryc.
What do you miss about football as a sport?
The most that is missing from the sport of football is popularisation.
Above all, stability, which is sadly lacking. On the other hand, it seems to me that there is nothing to criticise here but action!
I would also like to thank you in advance for such a powerful event as the Puchar Sołtysa! Moreover, it is getting even more interesting! 🔥
Well done. 👏
