    Juventus Football Club confirmed as Media Partner for the World Freestyle Football Championship 2023

    The World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA) has announced today an exciting partnership with Italian football powerhouse Juventus and their Juventus Creator Lab which will see the most prestigious Freestyle Football event of the year, the World Freestyle Football Championship, broadcast live on the official TikTok channel of the club.

    The 2023 edition of the World Freestyle Football Championship will be hosted by the prestigious Kenyan agency Homeboyz Entertainment at the extraordinary Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on November 25th. The event will be bringing together the top 32 freestylers on the planet for a unique display of skill and competitiveness.

    The World Finalists, coming from all continents, have qualified for the event through a series of six highly competitive regional qualifiers, the Pulse Series. Among the elite athletes who will face off in Nairobi are the two reigning Champions, Erlend Fagerli (Norway) and Caitlyn Schrepfer (USA), who took famous victories last year at the spectacular ancient Roman Amphitheatre of Pula, in Croatia.

After the first-ever freestyle challenge on TikTok in May 2023, won by the Brazilian Freestyle Football and Futsal player Adonias Fonseca, Juventus will now support again the freestyle movement, streaming on the same social media the official World Championship.

    As an added bonus of the relationship, four of the World Finalists will have the opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy in January for a content creation experience in Turin.

  • The WFFA announces an innovative, community-owned global governance system for Freestyle Football

    The WFFA announces an innovative, community-owned global governance system for Freestyle Football

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the implementation of an innovative governance solution to distribute power and upside with the people that matter in the sport – the Freestyle Football community

    For this purpose, the Association has partnered with German company OwnCo, whose solution enables organisations to share ownership using their own branded credit. These credits can be earned by the community and are backed with ownership in the organisation itself. Credits can be earned and redeemed into influence, status, ownership or revenue.

    In the case of the WFFA, these credits will be distributed to all stakeholders of the sport, from the most seasoned athletes to the freshest up-and-coming talents. The new governance system will be rolled out to the entire community, not just the Association leadership, with the goal of empowering everyone.

    With this revolutionary approach, the WFFA progresses toward its goal of becoming the most innovative and transparent sports federation in the world – and, most importantly, materialises its vision of making Freestyle Football the first community-governed sport in history.

    Dan Wood, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships at the WFFA, said: “Without the athletes, there is no Freestyle Football. I firmly believe the same can be said about every sport, but we have the opportunity at this nascent phase of our Sport to write some new chapters on how Sport can govern and grow in partnership with the community. OwnCo shares our values entirely and we are so privileged to have their support in bringing this story to life.”

    Pekko ‘PeGe’ Piirto, Head of the Global Network at the WFFA, said: “For more than a decade, at the WFFA we have been working hard to build a strong community of individuals, across the globe, with a single goal: to help Freestyle Football grow and develop. With the implementation of the decentralised governance system, we take a huge leap forward in that direction, ensuring that everyone can be seen and heard. I think this is a major milestone in the development of our sport and can’t wait to see the results in the near future!”

    Špela Prijon, Co-founder at OwnCo, said: “At Ownco, we’re witnessing a new wave of companies that understand sharing value and power benefits not only the community but also the company. We’re excited to be working with the team at the WFFA, who are pioneering more equitable governance in sport. We believe that the WFFA is unlocking a future in which builders and contributors are not only seen as equal and valuable – but also given equal and valuable power.”

    Tournify Check the official website of the tournament on Tournify: click on the logo for more details!

    The biggest and most prestigious open competition in the Freestyle Football global circuit, Super Ball, will be back in 2023! This time, the event will feature a completely new and expanded outdoor location in the city of Prague, in the Czech Republic.

    The 2023 edition of Super Ball will take place at Gutovka Park in the Czech capital, with the nearby Comfort Hotel Prague city East acting as the centre of operations. The best freestylers from all over the world, including an estimated 400 participants from over 40 countries, will gather between August 6th and 11th to show off their best skills in an attempt to be crowned champion across as many as 7 different categories for both male and female.

    Over the week, the Comfort Hotel will also play host to the Freestyle Football Congress, a unique platform created by the World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA) to discuss and forge the future of the sport together with the global community. 

    Among the new features of this year’s edition of Super Ball will be a special opportunity for all under-16 freestylers to shine: the newly created NextGen category. This is a 1 vs 1 battle competition which will enable all young talents to showcase their potential and prove themselves on the biggest stage. Also, for the first time ever, the Grand Finals will be held on a Friday, a decision aimed at giving freestylers a full weekend to enjoy themselves with the global community.

    Just like its predecessors, Super Ball 2023 will be an open event. This means athletes of all levels and nationalities will be able to participate. The signups process will open on March 1st and close on July 30th; there will be no extensions this year, so all athletes who haven’t signed up by the end of the registration period will not be allowed to compete.

    To sign up for the event, check the official Event Page on the WFFA website or register directly via GameDay!

    .
    This year’s edition of the tournament will include 7 disciplines, each of them with its male and female categories:

    • Freestyle 1×1 Battles: the main competition of the event, a clash of individual quality and mental strength in which two athletes compete by showing their best skills to the team of judges.
    • Routine: a showcase of individual mastery in which an athlete demonstrates their quality alongside their music to impress and entertain.
    • Double Routine: a spectacle of synchrony in which two athletes work together to show their most amazing moves combined.
    • Sick Three: a competition looking for the best combination of 3 consecutive tricks.
    • Challenge: athletes must complete tricks from a criteria list to pass through each round, getting progressively more difficult and a limited number of attempts; specially designed for lovers of fast combinations with the lower body.
    • Kill the Beat: a competition in which freestylers need to mix their tricks with a set music track… in a live format!
    • Iron Man & Woman: a marathon in basic lower body combinations and stamina – only for the toughest athletes!

    Lukáš Škoda, Super Ball Event Director, said: “We are very happy to present an outdoors Super Ball again, retaking the tradition of massively successful years such as 2017 and 2018. Our priority has always been catering to the needs of the community, and hence we are really excited to incorporate the NextGen category and to move the Grand Finals to a Friday – we hope this will give athletes more time to rest and enjoy their time together!”

    Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “It’s an absolute pleasure and honour for the WFFA to organise the biggest open championship in the sport of Freestyle Football yet another year. Edition after edition, we keep witnessing the extraordinary growth of our discipline; moving to Park Gutovka will surely help increase the visibility of the event… and motivate the athletes to push the limits of the sport even further!”

    Kitti Szász, former Freestyle Football World Champion and member of the Super Ball 2023 judges panel, said: “From a judging perspective, it’s awesome to observe how much the sport keeps growing year after year. After the much-needed opening of all disciplines to female athletes last year, I think the creation of the NextGen category is a new great step in the right direction: I’m really looking forward to judging the skills of its participants!”

    The 2023 Super Ball will be organised in partnership with local event production company PJ Art Production, an alliance that has guaranteed high-quality standards and success for the last 10 years in a row. Following the tradition of recent years, the 2023 event will be hosted by renowned Italian speaker Lorenzo Pinciroli, an unmistakable face for the Freestyle Football community.
