Super Ball comes to London: the world’s greatest Freestyle Football event lands in the United Kingdom between August 25th and 29th, 2025

This summer, the city of London will play host to the greatest, most prestigious event in the global Freestyle Football calendar: the Super Ball World Open 2025, which will take place from August 25th to 29th at SportsDock, University of East London!

Bringing together over 400 of the world’s top Freestyle Football athletes from 50+ countries, Super Ball is way more than just a sports tournament: it’s a celebration of culture, creativity and community through one of the most expressive and inclusive sports on Earth.

Global Energy. Pure Skill. Free Entry!

The event will feature no less than seven competitions throughout the week, culminating in a show-stopping, free-to-attend Grand Final on Friday, August 29th from 3 to 6 pm BST. The very best athletes in the world will battle for the crown of champions in front of a passionate crowd. For fans around the globe, the whole event will be live-streamed for free on the official channels of the WFFA, offering front-row access to the action.

Freestyle Football: A Movement, Not Just a Sport

Freestyle Football is a lifestyle, a global movement and a gateway to opportunity with no expensive equipment or barriers to entry: All you need is a ball! From street corners to global stages, this art form has empowered thousands of young people to find confidence and connection with fellow athletes.

Now in the English capital —a place that already eats, sleeps and breathes football—, people will be able to experience the beautiful game in a new way, with the world’s very best freestylers demonstrating what is truly possible with a ball.

Not only will Super Ball 2025 showcase elite-level talent, but it will also highlight the positive social impact of freestyle, from mental health and physical literacy to inclusion, neurodiversity and youth empowerment.

An Open Invitation

Super Ball offers a dynamic platform for brands, media, educators and local communities to get involved. Whether through sponsorship, workshops, digital activations or collaborative campaigns, there are multiple ways to be part of this vibrant and fast-growing global movement.

“There is no greater feeling than having such a huge volume of our community coming together in one place”, said Lukáš ‘Lucaso’ Škoda, the Super Ball founder and current Head of Operations of the WFFA. “Super Ball is the highlight of the Freestyle Football calendar: I’m really excited to bring it outside of the Czech Republic for the first time in history.”

“Bringing Super Ball to London this year not only provides a new experience for the athletes, but also presents a huge opportunity to communicate the beauty of this sport and lifestyle to new audiences, both in the UK and around the world”, said Dan Wood, the Head of Partnerships at the WFFA.

About the Super Ball World Open

The Super Ball World Open is the largest Freestyle Football open competition on the planet, a tournament that has become a major factor in establishing the thriving community around the sport on a global scale. Officially sanctioned by the WFFA, Super Ball offers no less than 7 different competitions both for men and women across the length of a week, as well as workshops, lectures and meetings around the sport.

Super Ball in its current format of World Open was founded in 2012, but the history of events in the Czech Republic dates back to 2009, with the Freestyle Football Grand Prix of Prague created by Czech freestyler and current WFFA Board member Lukáš ‘Lucaso’ Škoda. After several different iterations, including changes of location between the cities of Prague and Liberec, the event became the world reference in the discipline that it is now.

The Sports Committe of the WFFA announces the reinstatement of time limits for battles across all official competitions
The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today a change in the regulations for all official competitions featuring 1×1 Battles: starting in the 2025 season, all clashes will introduce again a time limit of 30 seconds per round, hence revoking the No Time Limit rule which had been in place in recent years.

The No Time Limit rule (NTL) was first implemented in a major event at Super Ball 2020 and since then it had expanded across all official competitions. Its original goal was to cater to the feedback and preferences of the community, despite the significant logistical and production challenges it presented.

However, the positive changes it pursued have not materialised: instead, the NTL format has led to competitions becoming not only longer, but also less engaging for both the general audience and the freestylers themselves. Additionally, this format introduced an extra layer of uncertainty for judges when evaluating performances.

Therefore, after careful review and consultation, the Sports Committee has decided to implement a new format for all major WFFA competitions (Pulse Series, Super Ball, NextGen and WFFC) starting in 2025.

New Battle Format:
- 3 rounds of 30 seconds each
- The clock resets at the beginning of each round
- Each round begins when the competitor whose turn it is performs their first action with the ball: this includes any type of ball interaction, such as juggling, flick-ups or ground moves
- If a competitor takes too long to begin their round, the MC has the authority to signal the official timekeeper to start the clock
This change has been designed to ensure only one competitor performs at a time, reducing confusion for the audience and judges; give competitors a few extra seconds to prepare and start their round efficiently; and keep the competition dynamic and interesting to watch, actively avoiding extra-long rounds which have become the new norm in recent years.

While this system will be mandatory for all major WFFA competitions in 2025, events applying for World Ranking (WR) status are not required to adopt it. Organisers of said events are free to use the format that best fits their needs while complying with official WFFA rules; however, they are welcome to adopt the new format and provide feedback on its implementation.

For more information, watch the following explanatory video on the official YouTube channel of the WFFA:



.
The new system will be used throughout the official 2025 season and will be reviewed at the end of the year based on feedback from competitors and the community. For more information about this update of the Regulations, please contact judging@worldfreestylefootball.org or follow the official channels of the Association.

The WFFA and Juventus present ‘These Strange Things We Do’, a new documentary about Freestyle Football
The World Freestyle Football Association, together with Italian football giants Juventus FC, has announced this week the launch of These Strange Things We Do, a new, high-end documentary about Freestyle Football starring some of its greatest global talents.

The film, created by the prestigious Juventus Creator Lab, features four elite freestylers who participated in the 2024 edition of the World Freestyle Football Championship in Turin: Yoanna Dallier from France, Zulhilmi ‘Zhilmi’ Zuaswa from Malaysia, Caitlyn Schrepfer from the USA and Sebastián ‘Machine’ Peña from Colombia. The documentary explores their stories as they battle for the title of World Champion in the most competitive stage of the global Freestyle Football circuit.

“We are absolutely delighted with the amazing documentary the Juventus Creator Lab have created”, said Dan Wood, Head of Partnerships at the WFFA. “The piece truly embodies the spirit of Freestyle Football and presents the personalities of its four extraordinary protagonists in a new light, exploring not just their journey in sports, but also in life. We believe this is a fantastic benchmark for future content about our sport!”.

These Strange Things We Do premiered on DAZN Italy and is now available on the official YouTube channel of Juventus.

The Sports Committe of the WFFA announces the new regional quota for the 2025 Pulse Series
The Sports Committee of the World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the distribution of competitive slots in each of the five regions of the 2025 Pulse Series, the official regional qualifiers for the World Freestyle Football Championship, whose locations will be announced in the coming weeks.

In order to ensure a fair and balanced representation of competitors from around the globe, while maintaining the integrity and excitement of the event, the members of the Sports Committee have used a transparent and data-driven approach based on two key factors:
1. Weighted World Ranking Representation (40%)
  This reflects the current strength of each continent based on player positions in the top 100 of the World Rankings. Higher-ranked players have contributed more to their continent’s score, ensuring that regions with stronger competitors are fairly represented.
2. World Freestyle Football Championship Performance (60%)
  This reflects historical performance in the last three World Championships. Continents that have consistently performed well in recent years have been rewarded for their success.
The Sports Committee has chosen a 60:40 ratio in favour of the World Championship performance because, while the World Rankings are a key tool for the future of the sport, they are still in their early years and may not fully capture the competitive landscape yet. By placing more weight on proven performance in past championships, the Committee aims to ensure that the allocation reflects both current strength and historical excellence.

Besides that, and in order to help in the development of the sport all around the world, the Sports Committee has implemented a cap of 1/3 of the total competitors in each of the regions, that is, 5 slots per continent. This ensures a diverse and global competition, giving fans from all over the planet a chance to see their region represented on the biggest stage.

Lastly, the WFFA Sports Committee, together with the Board, has decided to allocate all available slots to physical events, meaning Pulse Online will be discontinued in 2025. This decision was carefully considered after reviewing the tournament’s last two editions and is based on two main reasons: first, to reward freestylers who make the effort to attend physical events; and second, the realisation that, although Pulse Online was created mainly for freestylers from smaller countries, it was not fulfilling its purpose, as all the winners came from nations with large and competitive freestyle communities.

Therefore, the spots for the 2025 edition of the World Freestyle Football Championship, both for men and for women, are allocated as follows:

To learn more about the calculations, please review the specific file, which has also been uploaded to the Rules & Regulations section of the WFFA website. For more information, please contact judging@worldfreestylefootball.org or follow the official channels of the Association.

The WFFA announces the latest update of the Rules of Freestyle Football

The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the latest update of the Rules of the Sport of Freestyle Football, which will be available in the Rules and Regulations section of the official WFFA website for everyone to review.

These Rules have been thoroughly created by the WFFA Sports Committee using the experiences and jurisprudence gained throughout the last years of competition at a global scale. They will be applied universally to all official WFFA competitions, and they will also be readily available for any Freestyle Football event organiser in the world who wishes to organise a Ranked event – or simply to follow the same protocols as the official tournaments of the Association.

The new Rules will be in application from January 1st, 2025 onwards. No Rules will be applied retroactively. It’s important to note that this update of the Rules does not include the Regulations for official events, nor the new Judging process, both of which are still in development and will be released in 2025.

Every freestyler or event organiser who wishes to send feedback and/or amendment proposals to the new Rules will be welcome to do so: they will just need to send an email to judging@worldfreestylefootball.org. The Sports Committee will then review the feedback and implement the changes they deem fit.

For more information, please contact judging@worldfreestylefootball.org or follow the official channels of the WFFA.

The WFFA relaunches the Freestyle Football World Rankings
The long-awaited news have arrived: after a thorough process of analysis and development, the World Freestyle Football Association has announced the re-implementation of the World Rankings for the sport of Freestyle Football after the hiatus due to the Covid pandemic between the years of 2020 and 2021.

This new iteration of the Rankings will feature an improved, fairer and more precise rating architecture. Created by the WFFA Innovation team, the new Rankings are based on the Elo system used in sports like tennis and chess. Instead of relying on tournament results, the new Rankings will only take into consideration individual battles between freestylers. This means that a freestyler’s position in the Rankings will be determined by their performance against other competitors; victories against higher-ranked freestylers will earn more points compared to wins against lower-ranked opponents.

The new World Rankings have been developed and will be implemented following the process detailed below:
- In the first stage, the mathematical system behind the World Rankings was thoroughly designed by the WFFA Innovation Team, led by Gabriel Massif, and is currently undergoing a series of rigorous tests to ensure its maximum reliability and accuracy
- In the second stage, the WFFA Sports Committee carefully generated a preliminary version of the World Rankings. Led by Gaetan Czaja, a team comprising esteemed members of the global community compiled a comprehensive roster of freestylers and assigned them positions according to their latest achievements on the competitive stage
- In the third stage, the preliminary World Rankings will be utilised to determine the positions of participants in the qualification stages of major WFFA official competitions held during summer 2023, namely Super Ball and the Pulse Series
- In the fourth stage, the outcomes of the battles in these tournaments will be input into the Rankings themselves, therefore making them the first officially ranked competitions with the new system
- In the fifth and final stage, the results from every WFFA-sanctioned event will be input into the World Rankings. This process, in turn, will continuously enhance the accuracy of the global standings as an increasing number of results are added
It is worth noting that only live battles (or, at least, those performed with both opponents responding live to each other, in a similar fashion as online live tournaments such as the Youth Championship Finals) will be taken into account for the World Rankings; non-live online battles will be left out to ensure the skills of the athletes are evaluated in the most transparent manner.

All freestylers and fans of the sport will be able to check the World Rankings on the specific page of the WFFA official website, which will be updated on a monthly basis. Freestylers registering for official competitions of the Association will be included in the Rankings automatically; competitive athletes who are not yet included in the standings will have the opportunity to submit their details and request their inclusion through a dedicated form on the same Rankings page.

Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “We are really happy to bring back the World Rankings after an unfortunate yet unavoidable pause due to the pandemic, as we consider them a cornerstone of the development of the sport. We have no doubt that freestylers around the world will quickly embrace the new system!”.

Minna Marlo, Head of Development at the WFFA, said: “The community demanded the reimplementation of the World Rankings as a means of challenging themselves and finding an extra motivation to compete, and we heard them. We are positive that the new World Rankings will be instrumental in the further development of Freestyle Football.”

Gabriel Massif, Events Innovation Manager at the WFFA and a key figure in the creation of the new Ranking system, said: “We are very proud of the work we have done to develop the new World Rankings. We believe the Elo system is able to reflect the level of each freestyler with more precision than its predecessor. We are convinced that the new World Rankings will allow us to create fairer competitions, and hence we are very excited to offer them to the Freestyle Football community worldwide.”

About the Elo rating system

The Elo rating system, named after Hungarian-American physics professor Arpad Elo, is a methodology designed to calculate the relative skills of teams, athletes and players in zero-sum games. Originally created as a means to rate chess players, the system is currently in place in disciplines such as football, tennis, baseball and esports.

The Elo rating system uses the difference in the rating between two competitors to predict the outcome of their match; depending on how much difference there is between the players, the winner will take more or fewer points from the loser. If the player in a higher position in the ranking wins, they will only receive a few points; however, if it’s the lower-rated player who manages to secure the victory, many points will be transferred.

The Elo system, therefore, is not an absolute rating, but a method to calculate the level of a particular athlete (in this case, a freestyler) in relation to the rest of competitors – hence why so many disciplines have adopted it at their highest competitive level.

The WFFA updates the timelines and structure of the Red Bull Street Style female competition

In order to adapt the competition to the remarkable amount of female freestylers who signed up for it, the World Freestyle Football Association has announced today an update that will affect the timelines and structure of the Red Bull Street Style 2022 women’s tournament.

To participate in the competition, female athletes will need to enter the WFFA App, register, look up the Women’s Tournament in the Search Bar and select it, and lastly, type the number 145350 in the Invite Code section. Once this is done, they will be able to upload their 60-second video for the first selection round. The best clips will be picked by a team of judges and their authors will earn themselves a spot in the next round of the tournament, the Battle Pools of the Regional Qualifiers.

With the objective of giving female freestylers more time to prepare their clips for the aforementioned first selection round, the timeline to upload videos to the WFFA App has been extended to July 8th. Here’s an updated chart with the full timeline:

Once all videos have been selected, the athletes that have made it to the Regional Qualifiers will be able to compete in the next stage through the App. This new stage will consist of a series of Battle Pools, in which the participants will face other female freestylers from their region.

The Battle Pools will decide which 7 female freestylers from Europe (plus the current defending champion, Lia Lewis from the UK), 4 from Asia-Pacific, 4 from North America, 4 from South America and 4 from Africa make it to the Regional Finals, a very special tournament that will happen on the WFFA channels in the shape of a live stream. Athletes will compete live against their peers from their region in a show that will air on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook. Before the event, the finalists will receive a full package from the WFFA and Red Bull so they can prepare correspondingly.

In the last and most exciting stage of the tournament, the World Final, the very best female freestylers in the world (1 from Asia-Pacific, 1 from North America, 2 from South America, 1 from Africa and 3 from Europe) will battle it out for the title of World Champion. Will Lia Lewis retain the title? Or will the women’s tournament have a new champion?

The Official Rules of Red Bull Street Style are available on the Rules and Regulations page of the WFFA official website, together with all details about the format. Visit the official Event Page and the Event Announcement as well for more details!

The WFFA announces a global programme to protect the credibility of Freestyle Football competitions

The World Freestyle Football Association has announced the implementation of a global programme designed to protect the credibility and integrity of Freestyle Football tournaments around the globe. The first step in this plan has been the publication of the full List of Champions in official 1×1 battle competitions since the year 2007, an action aimed at safeguarding the reputation of actual winners and preventing fake championship claims from other participants.

The WFFA has announced that it will not recognise any other champions than those featured in the official list, available on the website of the Association. Any fake claims by other athletes will not be backed by the WFFA: furthermore, these claims will be considered a misappropriation, an idea that goes against the very foundations and values of the sport of Freestyle Football.

In the coming months, the WFFA will keep expanding the official list of champions to include all Regional and National competitions, with the objective of offering a complete and reliable source of truth not just to the Freestyle Football community but also to its current and future partners.

Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “Since the establishment of our Association, we’ve striven to protect our athletes and ensure they get the recognition they deserve for their dedication. We are convinced that the publication of the list of Champions is a key step to prevent a tortious use of our tournaments, and we are ready to enact any necessary measures to reinforce the credibility of Freestyle Football as a competitive sport around the world”.

Lucaso Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA, said: “The list of Champions is an ambitious project, aimed not only at protecting the winners of official competitions but also at compiling a comprehensive guide to all tournaments in the history of Freestyle Football. In the coming months, we will work together with the global community to polish and expand this directory, a vital tool to prevent misappropriations and pay tribute to the rightful champions.”

Pekko ‘PeGe’ Piirto, Head of the Global Network at the WFFA, said: “We are tremendously proud to offer the list of Champions as an educational resource for our community and a recognition to our hard-earned champions. It’s doubtlessly an essential milestone in the development of the sport of Freestyle Football.”
