Board dimensions, markings, and rules of play are modeled to simulate standard football. It is popular in Brazil, as well as various countries in Europe including Hungary and Georgia. 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 futebol de mesa ('table football', which would commonly be confused with table Football also known as foosball), or as futebol de botão (button football). In Hungarian, it is called asztali labdarúgás, gombfoci, or szektorlabda. In Georgian, it is called ghilburti (ღილბურთი).
