Abstract
A table football figurine includes of two complementary pieces, a male piece and a female piece, respectively, which can be assembled together after engagement of a notch onto a rod segment. A bottom of the notch is shaped so as to match the rod segment. Each rod segment is capable of receiving a figurine and has at least one hollowed-out deformation, which does not open outwardly. The notch of at least one of the two pieces constituting each figurine has, in correspondence with each hollowed-out deformation of the rod segment, a projection of complementary shape capable of engaging, without play, in the corresponding hollowed-out deformation of the rod segment.
