This has been THE big news of the past few weeks: last week, Stella shipped a container carrying 28 foosball tables bound for Montreal, Quebec!
Hard work to finalize Stella’s first foosball export to Quebec
After weeks of hard work, during which both Stella’s workshop and offices seemed to speak of nothing but Quebec, we are happy and proud to finally share this news with you — a milestone that crowns the efforts of an entire team.
This is also the largest international export outside Europe in Stella’s history! You can imagine the excitement and pride this adventure has brought us. We put all our energy and dedication into fulfilling this foosball order, which is now set to cross the Atlantic Ocean, as Stella continues pursuing its ambition to expand internationally.
The manufacturing and assembly of the foosball tables for Quebec
Stella’s specialty is 100% customization. With that in mind, the challenge was set: to create a foosball table that truly reflects the identity of Quebec. We designed several concepts using a new feature of our 3D configurator: the ability to customize every side of our indoor foosball models. This allows us to create a truly unique foosball table unlike any other, and it is especially useful for brands looking to make their tables instantly recognizable.
The idea was to make blue and white the dominant colors, inspired by the Quebec flag. At the same time, we wanted the foosball table to remain stylish and suitable for all types of interiors.
The fleur-de-lis is a historic symbol of French heritage in North America and can be found on the Quebec flag. We chose to feature the Quebec flag — first raised in Quebec City in 1948 — on each end of the foosball table, while adding a royal blue fleur-de-lis design to both the front and back panels.
We created several design proposals for our client to ensure the final Stella foosball table would proudly represent Quebec.
If you would like to discover the manufacturing process, we invite you to visit our Instagram page and watch a video showcasing the assembly of one of the units shipped to Montreal. It was a true team effort to produce these foosball tables in record time, proudly displaying the colors of the Quebec flag.

Expanding Stella foosball beyond Europe and onto the international stage
Our brand already includes several European names, such as Deutscher Meister, our German foosball brand. Deutscher Meister is a well-established reference in both the Netherlands and Germany, with features tailored to the playing styles and preferences of each country. We also have a Belgian foosball brand, Sporting. As Stella originates from Northern France, it was only natural for us to offer tables adapted to the Belgian style of play.
Indeed, players from different countries play on different types of foosball tables. Both the design and gameplay vary from one country to another. While many brands exist, they are often strongly rooted in specific regions or markets. That is why we are thrilled to establish a presence in North America and introduce our tables, specially designed around the unique French style of play.
A Success Story for Our Quebec Customers
You can now purchase Stella foosball tables through Yves Delnatte, who will be delighted to share his passion for the world of foosball — or “babyfoot,” as it is known in Quebec.
All of the Stella teams and our partners are proud to share this news, which helps bring French craftsmanship and expertise to a new continent.
