    The greatest edition of the World Freestyle Football Championship in the history of the competition took place in Sopot, Poland between December 9th and 14th, 2025. After an action-packed week, full of activities, Meets and amazing Freestyle Football, two extraordinary freestylers shone brightest and took the title of World Champions: Isabel Wilkins from the United Kingdom in the female tournament and Jesse Marlet from the Netherlands in the male competition.

    Over 2,500 fans, the biggest-ever attendance for a World Finals, filled the stands of the imposing Ergo Arena in Sopot to witness the incredible skills of the 32 best freestylers on the planet. All of them, together with audiences from all around the globe through a first-class live stream, could witness not just the prowess of the champions, but also of extraordinary athletes such as local hero Aguska Mnich, who reached the female Final, and French star Tristan Gac, who did the same in the male category.

    With this victory, Jesse becomes one of the very few freestylers in history to win a ‘treble’: National Championship, Super Ball World Open and World Freestyle Football Championship in the same year, all without losing a single battle.

    “It’s been such an incredible season!”, said Jesse, the back-to-back male World Champion. “I think going a full year without losing a battle will be difficult to recreate, so now I want to enjoy this… and take some time off!”.

    “I felt confident before the battle”, said Isabel, the new female World Champion. “You never know with freestyle, but I just gave it my all and I’m very happy with my performances!”.

  • Official announcement regarding Nahal Barzjan and Ali Yahia Ouahmed

    Official announcement regarding Nahal Barzjan and Ali Yahia Ouahmed

    The WFFA announces that, despite sustained efforts carried out jointly with the Sopot authorities and continuous coordination with all relevant parties, the visa applications of Ali Yahia Ouahmed (Algeria) and Nahal Barzjan (Iran) were rejected twice by their respective embassies. Both athletes completed the required steps and provided all requested documentation, but the decisions were final and outside the control of the organisers. As a consequence, they will be unable to travel to Poland to take part in the World Freestyle Football Championship.

    In accordance with the established competition protocol, Nahal and Ali Yahia’s designated opponents in the official draw will receive a bye into the next round. This procedure ensures the integrity of the bracket and allows the competition to proceed without alteration to its structure. All other athletes will continue under the regular schedule and format.

    The WFFA has remained in direct communication with both athletes throughout the process and acknowledges the significant effort they invested in attempting to secure their visas. The Association wishes to express its full solidarity with Nahal and Ali Yahia and recognises the disappointment caused by circumstances entirely beyond their control.
