  • The biggest arena for the biggest World Final: the World Freestyle Football Championship lands in Sopot!

    The biggest arena for the biggest World Final: the World Freestyle Football Championship lands in Sopot!

    The World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA) has announced today the location for its apex tournament of the season, the event that crowns the World Champions of the sport of Freestyle Football: the World Freestyle Football Championship (WFFC)!

    This year’s edition of the WFFC will take place on December 13th in the beautiful balneary city of Sopot, in northern Poland. The imposing, state-of-the-art Ergo Arena, located between the city and the neighbouring Gdánsk, will play host to the Grand Final of the championship: there, the tricks and skills of the best freestylers on the planet will take centre stage in the biggest-ever venue for a Freestyle Football championship.

    The 32 participants in the World Freestyle Football Championship, coming from the highly competitive continental qualifiers of the WFFA Pulse Series (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and South America), will enjoy a week of activities and experiences thanks to Sopot’s legendary tradition of hospitality before facing off at the iconic arena.

    The Ergo Arena, with a seating capacity of 11,409 for sports events, first opened its doors in 2010. Since then, it has served as home ground for the local basketball and volleyball professional teams, while also welcoming the Polish national teams on multiple occasions. Over the years, the Arena has staged prestigious competitions such as the 2013 European Men’s Volleyball Championship and the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics, as well as memorable concerts by global stars including Lady Gaga, Iron Maiden, Sting and Elton John.

    “Plain and simple: we couldn’t be more excited to go back to Sopot!,” said Lukáš Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA. “The European Championship we hosted there last year thanks to the invaluable support of the city, WFFA Pulse Sopot 2024, was an amazing success. We can’t wait to repeat it with an even bigger, grander setup this year, bringing there the very best freestylers on the planet for the World Freestyle Football Championship!”.

    “I’m delighted that this spectacular sport is returning to Sopot at the World Championship level”, said Magdalena Czarzyńska-Jachim, the Mayor of Sopot. “In June 2024, we hosted the biggest European Freestyle Football stars for the first time. I hope that the competition at ERGO ARENA in December will attract an even larger audience and complement the winter calendar of sporting events taking place in Sopot.”

    The website of the WFFA changes domain to evolve and improve: enter worldfreestylefootball.org

    The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today a significant technical update to one of its primary platforms — the official website. From today, the Association’s main online presence will move from www.thewffa.org to www.worldfreestylefootball.org. This transition, which will not alter any of the site’s existing functions, is designed to deliver enhanced reliability, stronger security and improved performance. It also lays the groundwork for the innovative developments the WFFA plans to introduce in the months ahead.

    In line with this change, the Association’s corporate email addresses will also be updated: addresses previously ending in @thewffa.org will now use the @worldfreestylefootball.org format. The WFFA will be proactively communicating with all its stakeholders — including athletes, fans, partners, and institutions — to ensure the transition is carried out seamlessly, without disruption to ongoing activities or services.

    “This update is just a little glimpse of something much bigger,” said Lukáš ‘Lucaso’ Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA. “Our move to the new domain marks another small step in a broader transformation that will completely change the WFFA for the future. In this occasion, we’d like to thank our partners at GameDay for their invaluable support and expertise in making this transition smooth and efficient.”

    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.
