Button football is a football (soccer) simulation game played on a table-top using concave “disks” or “buttons” as players. Board dimensions, markings, and rules of play are modeled to simulate standard football. It is popular throughout all of Brazil, and possibly other countries as well.
The term “button football” is an imperfect translation, as there is no standard name for the game in English. In Portuguese it is known as either the competitive sport of “Futebol de Mesa” (“Table Football”, which would commonly be confused with Table Football or Foosball) or the more friendly game of “Jogo de Botões” (“Button Game”, which yields no useful description).
