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.”

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.

The World Freestyle Football Association and their partners Homeboyz have announced today a change in the format of Pulse Mombasa, the official African qualifier for the World Freestyle Football Championship Finals. The competition, which was due to take place in the city of Mombasa, Kenya between July 15 and 16, 2023 will now move to an online basis to accommodate more freestylers across the continent.
The decision to change the format of Pulse Mombasa has been reached after a thorough consultation process with the African community. The online solution, which will allow freestylers to compete from their cities instead of requiring them to travel, will ease the participation of athletes throughout the whole continent.
The renewed Pulse Mombasa will keep using the current registration platform to ensure the change of format is as smooth as possible for the participants. Once they confirm their participation, the athletes will be contacted individually via Whatsapp and asked to send a 30-second qualification video, which the judges will use to rank them and split them into Circles of four freestylers.
These Circles will define the order of the battles in the knockout stage, featuring a Top-16 and a Top-8 both in the male category and a Top-8 in the female category. The best 12 freestylers, 8 men and 4 women, will then make it to the live online Finals, which will take place on July 16th – exactly the same weekend the live event was scheduled at.
The updated calendar of the competition will be as follows
Signups process: from May 30th to June 13th
Qualification video reception process: From June 14th to June 21st
Online competition (including circles and knockout stage):from June 27 to July 12
Live Finals: July 15th and 16th
The WFFA will reach out to all registered freestylers to let them know about the new structure. The judges of the competition, as well as the detailed calendar and all the relevant details about the event, will be made available on the corresponding Event Page on the official WFFA website, as well as on the social channels of the Association.
Lukáš Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA, said: “During the build-up to Pulse Mombasa, we have been listening to the African community and realised that an adjustment in the format could help lots of athletes participate, particularly those from countries far away from Kenya. We are positive that this change will mean not just an increased participation, but also a higher competitive level plus the opportunity for many African athletes to showcase their amazing skills… and earn their well-deserved spot in the World Final!”.
Myke Rabar, CEO of Homeboyz, spoke about the significance of this change, saying, “Homeboyz is excited to collaborate with WFFA in reimagining Pulse Mombasa as an online event. By leveraging the digital landscape, we can engage a wider audience and provide an avenue for Freestyle Football enthusiasts from all over Africa to participate and be recognized for their skills. This format change aligns with our commitment to fostering talent and promoting the growth of freestyle football across the continent.”

The biggest and most prestigious open competition in the Freestyle Football global circuit, Super Ball, will be back in 2023! This time, the event will feature a completely new and expanded outdoor location in the city of Prague, in the Czech Republic.
The 2023 edition of Super Ball will take place at Gutovka Park in the Czech capital, with the nearby Comfort Hotel Prague city East acting as the centre of operations. The best freestylers from all over the world, including an estimated 400 participants from over 40 countries, will gather between August 6th and 11th to show off their best skills in an attempt to be crowned champion across as many as 7 different categories for both male and female.
Over the week, the Comfort Hotel will also play host to the Freestyle Football Congress, a unique platform created by the World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA) to discuss and forge the future of the sport together with the global community.
Among the new features of this year’s edition of Super Ball will be a special opportunity for all under-16 freestylers to shine: the newly created NextGen category. This is a 1 vs 1 battle competition which will enable all young talents to showcase their potential and prove themselves on the biggest stage. Also, for the first time ever, the Grand Finals will be held on a Friday, a decision aimed at giving freestylers a full weekend to enjoy themselves with the global community.
Just like its predecessors, Super Ball 2023 will be an open event. This means athletes of all levels and nationalities will be able to participate. The signups process will open on March 1st and close on July 30th; there will be no extensions this year, so all athletes who haven’t signed up by the end of the registration period will not be allowed to compete.
To sign up for the event, check the official Event Page on the WFFA website or register directly via GameDay!
. This year’s edition of the tournament will include 7 disciplines, each of them with its male and female categories:
Freestyle 1×1 Battles: the main competition of the event, a clash of individual quality and mental strength in which two athletes compete by showing their best skills to the team of judges.
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.
Kill the Beat: a competition in which freestylers need to mix their tricks with a set music track… in a live format!
Iron Man & Woman: a marathon in basic lower body combinations and stamina – only for the toughest athletes!
Lukáš Škoda, Super Ball Event Director, said: “We are very happy to present an outdoors Super Ball again, retaking the tradition of massively successful years such as 2017 and 2018. Our priority has always been catering to the needs of the community, and hence we are really excited to incorporate the NextGen category and to move the Grand Finals to a Friday – we hope this will give athletes more time to rest and enjoy their time together!”
Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “It’s an absolute pleasure and honour for the WFFA to organise the biggest open championship in the sport of Freestyle Football yet another year. Edition after edition, we keep witnessing the extraordinary growth of our discipline; moving to Park Gutovka will surely help increase the visibility of the event… and motivate the athletes to push the limits of the sport even further!”
Kitti Szász, former Freestyle Football World Champion and member of the Super Ball 2023 judges panel, said: “From a judging perspective, it’s awesome to observe how much the sport keeps growing year after year. After the much-needed opening of all disciplines to female athletes last year, I think the creation of the NextGen category is a new great step in the right direction: I’m really looking forward to judging the skills of its participants!”
The 2023 Super Ball will be organised in partnership with local event production company PJ Art Production, an alliance that has guaranteed high-quality standards and success for the last 10 years in a row. Following the tradition of recent years, the 2023 event will be hosted by renowned Italian speaker Lorenzo Pinciroli, an unmistakable face for the Freestyle Football community.

The World Freestyle Football Association has announced a new partnership with Latvian sports organisation Ghetto Games, the creators of some of Europe’s most renowned street competitions. Thanks to the agreement between both institutions, a selection of national Freestyle Football championships will be held alongside the stops of the Ghetto Games’ prime 3×3 street football tournament, the Ghetto Football Euro League.
The inclusion of Freestyle Football events in the Euro League —a continental championship that will take place in 11 countries during the spring and summer of 2022 and end with a Grand Final on June 8th in Riga, Latvia— will help raise awareness of the sport all over Europe, while also introducing the Freestyle Football community to the 3×3 street football universe. This collaboration will doubtlessly help popularise the two subcultures and unveil new rising stars of both sports.
All dates and locations of the official Freestyle Football National championships will be disclosed in the coming months through the official channels of the WFFA; stay tuned to get the latest updates! In the meantime, the stops of the Ghetto Football Euro League are already available on the Ghetto Games official website.
Lukáš Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA, said: “This is going to be a great year for the street sports culture. I really appreciate the opportunity for the WFFA to connect the Ghetto Football Euro League with our Country Leaders and help Freestyle Football events flourish in multiple countries. It’s key for us to give new opportunities to sportspeople in order to prove that street sports are part of the culture in all European countries.”
Pekko ‘PeGe’ Piirto, Head of the Global Network at the WFFA, said: “We are absolutely ecstatic to collaborate with the Ghetto Games! We’ve always felt very close to their vision and admired the awesome work they have been doing for street sports. We believe this opportunity to connect the stops of their Euro League with our own Freestyle Football National championships will boost both sports and help the respective scenes grow all across Europe.”
Matīss Babris, Ghetto Football Event Organizer and Manager, said: “With this partnership, we hope to increase the attractiveness of street football and Freestyle Football all over the continent. We are positive that these events will encourage more people, not just from Latvia but from all Europe, to try Freestyle Football and join the community!”.
Antons Semeņaks, Ghetto Football Leader, Organizer and MC, said: ”Take it or leave it, but Freestyle Football is an integral component of football in the 2020s. This is the reason why we want it to become a crucial part of our street football events, where Freestyle Football can fill us with unforgettable emotions and make players and spectators wonder how those tricks can be done. Also, we will include panna tournaments in our events – who knows, maybe we will see the first triple champion in 3v3, panna and freestyle!”.
About Ghetto Football
Ghetto Football is the biggest street football movement in Latvia, a competition that includes 3×3 football, 1×1 panna and Freestyle Football. The organisers of the event accumulate 11 years of experience with 150+ tournaments, including international championships.
