The 2025 edition of the Super Ball World Open, the greatest and most celebrated Freestyle Football event on the globe, concluded on Friday, August 29th with an absolutely extraordinary Finals held at the state-of-the-art SportsDock arena in London, United Kingdom. The first edition of the event to be ever organised outside of the Czech Republic brought together the greatest freestylers in the world for an unforgettable show – one that many will remember as the most spectacular in the history of the competition!

After a week of mind-blowing battles and extraordinary heroics in the six extra categories (Sick Three, Challenge, Routines, Double Routines, Iron Man & Woman and Kill the Beat), two Dutch superstars, Jesse Marlet in the male bracket and Jasmijn Janssen in the female bracket, stood out on top and won the 1×1 Battles tournament.

In the female tournament, Venezuelan legend and Super Ball OG Laura Biondo climbed to the second position in the podium, with Panamanian rising star Diana ‘Karol’ Rojer taking the third place.

Besides the Pro bracket, the 1×1 Battles tournament also featured the NextGen and Division 2 categories: in the former, French starlet Ilian Nemoz won the title after defeating the defending champion, Polish sensation Pan Pawel; meanwhile, in the second division, Maximiliano ‘El Tigre’ Valle Bernal from the USA took the crown after defeating the Palestinian hero Yousef ‘Yusu’ Hawari.

In the special mentions section, the extraordinary feat of Sofie Johannsen, from Denmark, cannot be overstated: the Danish teenager took the victory in all the lowers categories, with a trio of gold medals in Sick Three, Iron Woman and Challenge. In a similar fashion, Leon Pokrovsky, from Japan, took the highest spot in the podium in all artistic disciplines, with victories in Routines, Double Routines and Kill the Beat.

Awesome news for the next generation of freestylers from all around the world: one of the WFFA’s most important tournaments, the World Youth Freestyle Football Championship, is back in 2022!

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!

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.

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.

All participants of the 2022 Red Bull Street Style World Final announced!
To buy your tickets for the World Final, visit the official page of the event at Entrio!

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

Words by Trish Medalen for the Red Bull Media House.

Featuring the best athletes to trick their way to the top of national qualifiers around the world, five Regional Finals have determined the 16 men and eight women who will compete for the official World Championship of Freestyle Football when the Red Bull Street Style World Final comes to the magnificent Pula Arena in Croatia this October 8th. Here’s the lowdown – and the list of World Finalists!

Africa

Evelyn Okafor (Nigeria) claimed the title of African women’s champion with smooth combinations featuring impressive control across uppers, lowers and transitions. The first freestyler from her country ever to earn a place on the World Final stage, Okafor makes it all look easy.

The most intense battle in the men’s competition came when Mohannad Hosam (Egypt) and Ali Yahia (Algeria) faced off for a place in Africa’s final round. Hosan, a contender in the 2019 World Final, was determined to return to the global stage, but Yahia was equally as focused. Only a flawless performance by the Egyptian took him to the final battle, where he stamped his ticket to Croatia.

.
Asia Pacific

In the most riveting men’s clash of the Asia Pacific tournament, perpetual standout Philip Warren Gertsson, aka PWG (Philippines) claimed a place in the regional final by delivering everything in his arsenal against lightning-fast Jay Hennicke (Australia). With the region’s championship eventually going to Mohammed Akbari (Iran), the second place to PWG and the third to Hennicke, the trio have earned positions in Pula. As a result, for the first time ever there will be no men from the freestyle hotbed of Japan in the World Final.

But Japanese fans will still have a home favourite to cheer this October. The concluding Asia-Pacific rounds for women featured three female athletes from Japan, as well as a strong talent from Iran. All four delivered, but it was Miyoshi Miharu (Japan) who claimed the regional crown and will be bringing her super-stylish moves to battle the world’s best.

.
Europe

The final four in the European women’s tournament included three Red Bull Street Style World Champions: reigning titleholder Lia Lewis (United Kingdom), 2018 winner Aguśka Mnich (Poland) and four-time victor Mélody Donchet (France). The climactic showdown between Mnich and Lewis was a nail-biting rematch of the deciding round in the 2021 World Final, but this time the Polish star came out on top. In the battle for bronze, young Jasmijn Janssen (Netherlands) defeated Donchet – excluding the French legend from the World Final for the first time.

.
The men’s field was also packed with talent and showcased a dream final between brothers Brynjar Fagerli and Erlend Fagerli (Norway), where the judges used words like ‘mind-blowing,’ and ‘next level’ in describing the action. While Erlend is the only three-time men’s world champion in the history of Red Bull Street Style, in this faceoff Brynjar’s high-risk moves gave him the edge. They’ll both represent Europe in Croatia, along with third-place Jesse Marlet (Netherlands), who was runner-up at the 2021 World Final, and three other outstanding regional performers – Tristan Gac (France), Máté Hajagós (Hungary) and Anto Sanz (Spain).

.
North America

The North American men’s final was a thriller, with two freestylers known for their strength and ability: Pat Shaw (USA) versus Jeff ‘Pagu’ Chacón (Costa Rica). Each served up monster combos, and while Shaw took the victory, both earned a spot in the World Final, along with fellow North American Anthony Noguez (México).

Among the women, the experience, unique style and fresh tricks of Caitlyn Schrepfer (USA) won the hearts and minds of the judges, and the Californian says she’s got even more to give in Pula. Schrepfer was the third-place finisher at the World Final in 2021 – this year, could she be the spoiler who goes all the way?

.
South America

In South America, gripping battles and strong emotions showed just how much it means to make it to the World Final.

The men’s final came down to Boyka Ortiz (Colombia) against Moisés Carruyo (Chile). A freestyle icon, Ortiz has previously podiumed in the Red Bull Street Style World Championship, but young Carruyo holds high potential, having dethroned the best freestyler in Chilean history for his national title. Neither held back, and when Carruyo was announced the South American winner, he was overwhelmed. Carruyo and Ortiz both advance to the World Final, along with Nicolás Gondra (Argentina).

Back in 2012, Laura Biondo (Venezuela) and Cata Vega (Chile) were part of the very first women’s lineup on the World Final stage, and they’ve been instrumental in growing the sport. So it was inspirational to see them a decade later, at their peak, going head to head in South America’s final. While Biondo squeaked out the win, both move forward to Pula. Blinking back happy tears, Biondo said, “Going to the Red Bull Street Style World Final after being there since the beginning 10 years ago… it means a lot. See you in Croatia!”
