    This year, the tournament grows and changes its platform, from the old WFFA App to a new, easier format based on Whatsapp (or an equivalent messaging tool for countries where this service is not available). In this edition of the competition, you won’t need to worry about technical issues and you’ll be able to focus completely on showing us your best Freestyle Football moves!

    Remember: to participate in the Youth Championship, you must be 15 years of age or younger on the date when registrations close. See below for more information!

    Registration

    Registrations for the 2022 WFFA Youth Championship are completely free and will be open between October 24th and November 7th. Important: no new signups will be accepted after November 7th, so make sure to register on time!

    To sign up, follow this process:

    1. Go to the GameDay page of the event and follow the registration process: once completed, you’ll receive an email with a link to the Parental Form
    2. Get the Parental Form signed by your mother, father or legal guardian and send it back to forms@thewffa.org before November 7th, 2022
    3. When your form is approved, you will receive a Whatsapp message and you will be able to send the qualification video
    4. The team of judges will select the best 128 videos (64 for boys and 64 for girls) and rank them to progress onto the next stage of the competition

    Do not forget that in order to participate you will need to be 15 years of age or younger when registrations close on November 7th, 2022.

    Competition structure

    This year, the WFFA Youth Championship will follow this timeline:

    1. October 24th to November 7th: Registration period. No registrations will be accepted after November 7th
    2. November 9th to November 16th: Qualification stage. Freestylers will be asked to send their qualification videos between those dates. No videos will be accepted after November 16th
    3. November 29th to December 5th: Top64 stage in Circles format, all happening via Whatsapp
    4. December 12th to December 15th: Top16 stage in 1×1 battles format, all happening via Whatsapp
    5. December 17th: Grand Finals (Top8, Semifinals, Bronze Battles, Finals) happening on a live event; participants will get all information beforehand so they can prepare accordingly

    Format

    In the qualification stage, the clips of the participants will be evaluated by three different judges, who will give them scores on a scale from 1 to 10. The marks from the three judges will be added up, and the participants will then be ranked according to their total score. In case of a score draw between two freestylers, the Head of Judging will intervene and use his quality vote to break the tie.

    The circles will then be created according to the aforementioned ranking from the qualification stage and following the usual seeding procedure: the freestyler ranked first will be placed in a group with the last, the second with the second last, and so on.

    In the circles, three judges will evaluate and score each of the three videos sent by the participants on a scale of 1 to 10. The best-ranked freestylers across all the circles will progress onto the next stage; the general ranking coming from these circles (that is, the total amount of points earned by each freestyler, accumulating the points earned by each of their three videos) will be used to determine the battles in the Top16. In case of a score draw between two freestylers, the results of the qualification stage will be used to break the tie.

    Rules

    The 2022 edition of the WFFA Youth Championship will use the Official Rules of Freestyle Football for its battles. Any specific rules and regulations affecting the competition will be published on the corresponding page of the WFFA website.

    Judges

    The team of judges for the 2022 WFFA Youth Championship will feature the following first-class freestylers from all around the world:

    Prizes

    The 2022 edition of the WFFA Youth Championship will reward not just the male and female champions of its 1×1 battles competition, but also offer awards to three extra categories in a similar fashion as in 2021.

    Not even the most adverse of weather conditions can defeat the energy and positivity of Freestyle Football athletes: this is probably the main learning of the first-ever WFFA US Open, a brand-new competition that took place on the weekend of July 2nd and 3rd at the Daytona International Speedway in Florida during the Daytona Soccer Fest.

    The WFFA US Open was originally split into two days and two stages, but rain and thunderstorm forced the organisers to distribute it across three different locations. The first day, Saturday, July 2nd, featured the qualifying rounds, with judges Laura Biondo and Charly Iacono, led by head judge Andrew Henderson, deciding the battle order for the knockout stage. Host Daniel Dennehy, an unmissable voice in the Freestyle Football community, presented the competition.

    However, when the crowd was starting to gather in numbers, attracted by the prospect of an exciting 1×1 battle competition at the Fan Zone of the Daytona circuit, a thunderstorm alarm left no other choice for the WFFA but to postpone the thrills until the next morning.

    On Sunday, July 3rd, the day started brightly, with amazing battles in the Top 32 and Top 16 rounds. Great stars of the sport, such as former World Champion Ricardinho and Colombian legend Boyka, offered amazing quality displays. However, extreme weather conditions struck again right when the Finals were about to start: the competition had to be delayed and moved to a new location, under the protection of the stands of the world-renowned Daytona circuit.

    After the pause, though, the quality of the participants shone again at extraordinary levels. The men’s final featured a top-class intercontinental clash of styles and personalities, with Filipino master Philip Warren Gertsson, a.k.a. PWG, beating Costa Rican icon Jeffry Chacón a.k.a. Pagu in an extraordinary showdown. The same can be said of the women’s bracket, where local hero Caitlyn Schrepfer beat French starlet Yoanna Dallier in a fantastic battle.

    Once the first WFFA US Open champions were crowned, an extra competition took place: a raffle to decide who would get the bonus prize of the tournament, no less than a trip to Super Ball 2022. Joshua Lockhard, from the US, was lucky enough to take home the award and will represent the land of stars and stripes in the world’s greatest open in Prague next August.

    Re-watch the WFFA US Open Finals (including a special show featuring a Q&A with Andrew, Charly and Laura) on the YouTube channel of the WFFA:
