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

    Red Bull Street Style, the most competitive Freestyle Football tournament in the world, returns in 2022 with the clear goal of taking things to the next level: a thousand athletes from over 50 countries will compete in a contest that will see a new sportive format being implemented this year, guaranteeing that finalists from up to five continents will enter the World Final for the first time in its history.

    This year’s competition will have a distinct format. In the men’s bracket, 2022 will see the return of in-person qualifiers, a series of events that will take place in specific countries to determine their champions; most nations of the world, though, will select their best athletes through online National Qualifiers on the WFFA App. The best athletes of each of the participating countries, including a specific Rest of the World qualifier for nations with smaller communities, will then advance to their respective Regional Qualifiers. Only the most skilful participants of each of the five regions (North and South America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe) will make it to the Regional Finals, a brand-new concept happening in late August that will determine the 16 men that will participate in the World Final on October 8th in Croatia.

    In the women’s bracket, the competition will happen on a fully online basis. Female participants from all around the world will need to get through their Regional Qualifiers to make it to the Regional Finals in August: the very best 8 female freestylers on the globe, coming from each of the five regions, will then earn a spot in the final event in Croatia.

    The Battle Pools of the Regional Qualifiers are available in this article; for more details on the tournament format, please check the announcement article. The official Rules of the championship are available on the Rules and Regulations page of our website, alongside all the particulars about the competitive structure.

    Below these lines, you can find a list of all male National Qualifiers, together with the respective links to their pages and to their National Champions, as well as the key details of the Women’s Regional Qualifiers.

    • Freestyle routine: a showcase of individual mastery in which an athlete demonstrates their quality in sync with the music
    • Double routine: a spectacle of synchrony in which two athletes show their most amazing combined moves
    • Sick Three: a competition to find the very best combination of 3 consecutive tricks
    • Challenge: a distinctive category in which athletes perform predetermined tricks at their highest speed; specially designed for lovers of fast combinations
