    The 2024 edition of WFFA Pulse Córdoba took place in Argentina between September 25th and 29th and brought the South American scene of Freestyle Football to a whole new level. The competition, organised in cooperation with the Asociación Cordobesa de Freestyle Futbol, featured not just a 1×1 battles competition to determine the seven South American representatives at the World Freestyle Football Championship later this year (4 women and 3 men), but also a series of tournaments (Challenge, Sick Three, Panna 1×1, Show Flow, Iron Man & Woman, and Routines) for the Pan American community to showcase all their skills and passion for the sport.

    The qualifiers were held between September 25th and 27th at the legendary Estadio Kempes, a massive stadium that was once an official venue for the FIFA World Cup 1978, with the Finals happening on September 29th at the Plaza España, located at the very centre of the city. The local crowd enjoyed a magnificent show at the latter, with hundreds of fans cheering for the tricks of the best South American freestylers.

    The competition crowned two legends of the sport: Laura Biondo, from Venezuela, took the victory in the female category, while Sebastián ‘Machine’ Peña, from Colombia, added his second consecutive gold in the tournament.

    The excitement did not end there, as five more freestylers (two men and two women) earned their places in the upcoming World Finals:

    • Cata Vega, Chile
    • Moisés Carruyo, Chile
    • Juliana Jaramillo, Colombia
    • Nico Gondra, Argentina
    • Angie ‘Azumi’ Cepeda, Colombia

    The adventure of the Pulse Series doesn’t stop here, though, and the competition will travel now to Jakarta, Indonesia to crown the Asia-Pacific regional champions and find seven more World Finalists – a total of three ladies and four gentlemen.

    The global competitive circuit of the WFFA returns to the Americas for yet another thrilling Freestyle Football competition: Pulse Córdoba, the South American 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 Córdoba, Argentina, between September 25th and 29th. The best 7 freestylers (3 males and 4 females, with an extra slot for women after last year’s success) will earn themselves a trip to the World Freestyle Football Championship!

    Pulse Córdoba 2024 will offer a 1×1 Battles competition, but unlike last year, this tournament will be open to South American freestylers only, following the Regional Division of the WFFA in place since early 2022. This change is due to Pulse CDMX 2024 happening in Mexico, a country freestylers from all the North American region can access more easily than the USA in 2023.

    Besides the 1×1 Battles competition acting as the qualifier for the World Finals, the Pulse Córdoba 2024 week will also include the Pan American Freestyle Football Open, a tournament for all freestylers from the continent which will feature the following categories:

    • 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.
    • Show Flow: a showcase of all the skills of Freestyle Football, connected in the most flawless possible way, in a show of a single minute
    • Iron Man & Woman: a marathon in basic lower body combinations and stamina – only for the toughest athletes!
    • Panna 1×1: a match between two players in which goals may count… but nutmegs are everything!

    The signups process for this event will open on April 17th and close on September 17th; 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 Córdoba event, only before August 30th.

    We expect all participants to sign up using the GameDay widget, the link to which is available above; however, if a freestyler finds issues in the payment process or doesn’t have the ability to pay via credit card or PayPal, we kindly ask them to send us an email at pulse-series@thewffa.org and we’ll find an alternative solution for them at a small extra cost.

    All athletes are reminded that it is not possible to participate in two Pulse Events in the same year; however, if a freestyler signs up for a qualifier and gets injured before having been able to compete in it, they will be allowed to move their registration to Pulse Online later in the year.

    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 best Freestyle Football in South America comes back to Argentina with Pulse Córdoba 2024

    The best Freestyle Football in South America comes back to Argentina with Pulse Córdoba 2024

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the dates and format of WFFA Pulse Córdoba 2024, the official South American Freestyle Football Championship and the continental qualifier for the World Finals of the sport. 

    This extraordinary event, organised in partnership with the Argentinian federation, the Asociación Cordobesa de Futbol Freestyle (ACFF), will take place in the vibrant city of Córdoba, in the province of the same name, between September 25th and 29th, 2024.

    Unlike last year, Pulse Córdoba 2024 will be open to South American freestylers only, following the Regional Division of the WFFA in place since early 2022. This change is due to Pulse CDMX 2024 happening in Mexico, a country freestylers from all the North American region can access more easily than the USA in 2023.

    Besides the 1×1 Battles competition acting as the qualifier for the World Finals, the Pulse Córdoba 2024 week will also include the Pan American Freestyle Football Open, a tournament for all freestylers from the continent which will feature the following categories:

    • Challenge
    • Sick Three
    • Show Flow
    • Iron Man & Woman
    • Routine
    • Panna 1×1

    The venues of the different competitions, together with the lineup of judges and plenty of other details about this thrilling event, will be announced on the official channels of the WFFA and the ACFF in the coming weeks.

    Steve Elias, president of the WFFA, said: “For us, it’s just marvellous to travel to Córdoba again after last year’s massive success. We are immensely thankful to the ACFF for their extraordinary job, as well as to the city council and its sports agency for their invaluable support. We have no doubt that the 2024 edition will be even more amazing than the first one!”.

    Iris Santiago, secretary of the ACFF, declared: “Last year, we achieved one of our great challenges – providing a Continental Tournament where all the involved parties felt like true stars of the Freestyle Football World. Our city supports sports and gives us the opportunity to keep pushing to become a global reference point for Freestyle Football for all those who want to be part of this wonderful discipline. We will be happy to welcome all of South America to Pulse Córdoba 2024 and hope that the Pan-American Open Freestyle Football Tournament will also be a great challenge for all those who want to experience a week filled with all the extraordinary vibes that this great continent possesses.”

    Héctor ‘Pichi’ Campana, Secretary of Sports of the Municipality of Córdoba, added: “It was a true honour to preside over the presentation of Pulse Córdoba 2023 last year. The good atmosphere and positive energy that was experienced there truly filled my soul. Freestyle Football is truly an art! We will accompany them again this year so that the competitors can enjoy another fantastic event and take away great memories of our city.”

    Registrations are already open on the corresponding Event Page on the website of the WFFA. For more information, follow the official channels of the Association.

    The WFFA announces the locations of the 2024 Pulse Events

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the location and the corresponding slots of all events of the 2024 Pulse Series, the official continental championships that act as qualifiers for the World Freestyle Football Championship.

    After the massive success of the first edition of the series, this second instalment will travel again to all continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific) and feature an Online tournament for those freestylers living in remote countries or who couldn’t join their closest Pulse Event due to injury.

    The 2024 Pulse Series will take place between June and October in the following locations:

    • Sopot (Poland)
    • Lagos (Nigeria)
    • Mexico City (Mexico)
    • Córdoba (Argentina)
    • Jakarta (Indonesia)

    Following the usual policy of the Pulse Series, all freestylers will be able to choose whether they compete in a physical event or in Pulse Online. However, once a decision is made, there will be no second chance: no freestyler will be allowed to participate in two different Pulse Events in the same season.

    In 2024, unlike in the first edition of the global series, no freestyler will be allowed to compete in a Pulse Event outside their region; this means that freestylers from the Americas will need to compete either in Pulse CDMX if they are from North American nations or in Pulse Córdoba if they hold the nationality of a South American country. For more details about the Regional Division of the WFFA, please check the corresponding file, available on the Rules & Regulations section of our website.

    The participation numbers and the competitive record of the athletes from each region in 2023 have been taken into account to allocate the spots for the 2024 edition of the Series, resulting in a small modification; one of the slots available for female freestylers in Asia-Pacific has been moved to South America, as depicted in the chart below.

    The exact details of all individual Pulse Events, as well as the registration process, will be announced on the WFFA channels in the coming weeks. More information will also be made available on the official Event Calendar on our website. For further questions, please send an email to pulse-series@thewffa.org – and follow the official channels of the WFFA to stay up to date!

  • The WFFA centralises the Asia-Pacific qualifiers in Pulse Hiroshima and opens registrations for Pulse Riga

    The WFFA centralises the Asia-Pacific qualifiers in Pulse Hiroshima and opens registrations for Pulse Riga

    The World Freestyle Football Association announced this week the centralisation of all Asia-Pacific qualifiers for the World Freestyle Football Championship Finals in the Pulse Event in Hiroshima, Japan, as well as the opening of registrations for the European Pulse Event in Riga, Latvia.

    Pulse Hiroshima, which was originally planned for June 3-4, will now be happening on September 15-16, a decision aimed at allowing all freestylers from the region to better prepare for the qualifier. The event will now become the only official qualifier in the region for the World Championship Finals, hence granting the 8 best freestylers from Asia-Pacific (4 males and 4 females) the right to travel to Nairobi, Kenya in November. All freestylers who signed up for the original dates of the Hiroshima qualifier in June will be contacted individually and offered to either be registered automatically to the event on its new dates or to be refunded in full.

    The updated structure for the Pulse Series, therefore, looks like this:

    Besides this, the Association also announced the opening of registrations for Pulse Riga, the European qualifier for the World Championship Finals; this event will take place in the Latvian capital on July 28-29.

    The WFFA will announce the exact dates of the rest of Pulse Events (Mombasa, New York and Córdoba) in the coming weeks, ensuring that freestylers are given at least a 3-month notice to sign up and prepare their travels.

    For more information about the Pulse Series, please contact the corresponding team at the WFFA at pulse-series@thewffa.org.

  • The WFFA announces a brand-new structure for the 2023 World Championships

    The WFFA announces a brand-new structure for the 2023 World Championships

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the new format of qualifications for the official 2023 World Freestyle Football Championships: the Freestyle Football Pulse Series, a succession of highly competitive regional tournaments that will ensure all corners of the globe are covered and every single freestyler can compete for a spot in the World Final.

    Following the announcement in October 2022 that the 2023 World Finals were to happen in Nairobi, Kenya, the WFFA has added today that 5 live regional events spread across the globe over the year will act as qualifiers and serve to identify who qualifies for the right to compete for the World Title.

    After going fully online in 2020 to accommodate the global restrictions in travel and gatherings of people, and evolving into hybrid models in 2021 and 2022 where live and online qualifier stages were introduced, 2023 will see a fully live experience to best judge the talents in the sport of Freestyle Football. Also, for the first time, the qualifiers will be focused only on regional events, instead of National Qualifiers – a decision aimed at ensuring that every competition offers the highest quality and competitiveness to its participants.

    The 2023 Freestyle Football Pulse Series will take place in Hiroshima (Japan), New York City (United States of America), Mombasa (Kenya), Riga (Latvia) and Córdoba (Argentina) between May and September 2023.

    Freestylers will be able to choose whether they compete in a physical event or in the Online Pulse; those living in the Americas will also be able to decide whether they compete in the North (New York) or in the South (Córdoba). However, once a decision is made, there will be no second chance – no freestyler will be allowed to participate in two different Pulse Events in the same season.

    The exact dates of the Pulse Events, plus all relevant information about each stop, will be released on the official WFFA social media channels as the competitions come close.

    Once all events in the Pulse Series are over, the very best 16 men and 16 women from all corners of the world will be competing in November in Nairobi, Kenya for the World Championship title, which has previously been held by the likes of Sean Garnier (France), Lia Lewis (UK), Andrew Henderson (UK), Melody Donchet (France), Aguska Mnich (Poland) and Ricardinho Chahini (Brazil).
