    The 2023 Freestyle Football global circuit keeps moving forward unstoppably: Pulse Riga, the European qualifier for the Finals of the World Freestyle Football Championship, is around the corner!

    This new instalment of the Pulse Series will take place in the city of Riga, in Latvia. The qualifiers will be held at the Ghetto Games Arena on July 28th between 12h and 20h; the Finals will happen at the same venue the next day, July 29th, between 12h and 20h. The best 10 freestylers (5 males and 5 females) will earn themselves a trip to Nairobi, Kenya to participate in the World Freestyle Football Championship Finals!

    This Pulse Event will host a 1×1 battles competition open to all freestylers from the European region; to ensure that their country is eligible for this competition, freestylers can check the official Regional Division of the WFFA. The signups process will open on April 11th and close on July 24th; there will be no extensions, so all athletes who haven’t signed up by the end of the registration period will not be allowed to compete.

    The WFFA has set up a refund policy for registrations for all Pulse Events; athletes who can’t travel due to a justified reason (i.e. sickness, injury or denial of travel visa) can ask for their money back, but in the case of the Riga event, only before July 7th. The organising committee strongly recommends all athletes who need a visa to get their invitation letter first using the widget available below: once they are cleared to travel, they may sign up as participants.

    Athletes under the age of 18 will be allowed to participate, but they will need to upload a signed Parental Form at the end of the registration process. For more details, check the links below!

    The WFFA launches an official podcast with the best stories from Freestyle Football

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced a joint venture partnership with sports audio experts Voiceworks Sport, that will see the two organisations work together on the global governing body’s official podcast and audio strategy. 

    The partnership will launch with an initial podcast recorded at the Super Ball World Open, the WFFA’s flagship tournament. The All You Need Is A Ball content series will bring the latest news and stories from the event, giving Freestyle Football fans full access to the biggest names in the sport, telling the story of their route into the game and revealing the personalities behind “the fastest-growing sport you’ve never heard of.”

    The wider series of the podcast will follow the Freestyle Football calendar, providing updates from major events and takes from big-name freestylers from around the world on the latest news, views and their own personal journeys.

    Sophie Hind, Managing Director of Voiceworks Sport, said: “Sound and excitement feature in Freestyle Football in abundance. It’s a thrilling sport, and tailor-made for audio. We know that WFFA’s long-term ambition is to rub shoulders with other urban sports like 3×3 basketball, BMX freestyle and skateboarding at much-loved marquee events. Realising the scale of the audio opportunity, they came to us to develop their audio strategy. We jumped at the chance to work with them.

    “We’re looking forward to working with the WFFA team for years to come. The partnership marks another exciting milestone in Voiceworks Sport’s own journey, as we work with some of the most innovative organisations, brands and governing bodies across sport.”

    Dan Wood, Head of Partnerships at the WFFA, said: “Freestyle Football is a content-heavy, digitally-savvy sport where storytelling is rife. From the amazing athletes and their journeys, through to incredible destinations, unlocking cultures from all corners of the world and the building of a brand-new sport from scratch, there is a lot to talk about.”

    “Partnering up with premium expertise of Voiceworks Sport and launching our own podcast was a logical next step in our growth. We are really excited to share our amazing community and journey with the world!”.

  • Sri Lanka joins the WFFA Global Network

    Sri Lanka joins the WFFA Global Network

    The World Freestyle Football Association family keeps growing around the world: this November, Sri Lanka was confirmed as the newest member of the Global Network, an international structure that now includes up to 115 countries from all inhabited continents.

    The new incorporation of Sri Lanka is a product of the agreement between the WFFA and Colombo FC, the country’s most successful football club in the last decade. The deal will see local Freestyle Football star Niran Kanishka become the WFFA Country Leader, servicing the Sri Lankan community and ensuring the development of the sport across the nation with the constant support of the WFFA Global Team.

    Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “It’s an honour for us to expand into a country with a vibrant Freestyle Football community such as Sri Lanka. We are thrilled to announce this new deal, particularly given the huge prestige of Colombo FC, and we are certain that it will have a strong impact not just in the local scene but also in all the region.”

    Niran Kanishka, the newly appointed WFFA Country Leader in Sri Lanka, said: “Being a footballer myself for Colombo FC, playing football with flair has been my routine since I started. There are many talents in Sri Lanka like myself who love expressing our creativity with the ball: our main goal is to create a platform for all the hidden gems in our country. This will be a great opportunity for Sri Lankan freestylers to shine!

    Pekko ‘PeGe’ Piirto, Head of the Global Network at the WFFA and a leading figure in the establishment of the deal, said: “Seeing the constant growth of the Global Network in recent years fills me with pride and hope for the future. I have absolutely no doubt that Niran will do an amazing job at nurturing the local scene; we look forward to discovering all the talent that Sri Lanka can offer the world!”.

    About Colombo FC

    Colombo Football Club was founded in 2008 during the tail-end of war in Sri Lanka to unite the country through the game of football. In a short span of 13 years, Colombo FC has managed not only to unify the diverse communities in the country but also emerged as the champion outfit of Sri Lankan Football. 

    The Club has successfully managed to win a hat-trick of Major League titles (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18), Sri Lankan FA Cup (2015) and represented the country internationally in the AFC Cup (2017, 2019) on two occasions. Their recent triumph in the Vantage FFSL Presidents Cup 2020 was a testimony to their success and the steps they have taken to change the landscape of football in Sri Lanka.
