    The 2023 Freestyle Football global circuit keeps moving forward unstoppably: Pulse Mombasa, the African qualifier for the Finals of the World Freestyle Football Championship, is around the corner!

    This new instalment of the Pulse Series has been fully updated, and instead of taking place in a physical spot, it will happen on a fully online basis to allow as many freestylers as possible from the whole of Africa to participate.

    The event will host a 1×1 battles competition open to all freestylers from the African region; to ensure that their country is eligible for this competition, freestylers can check the official Regional Division of the WFFA.

    The signups process will open on April 6th and close on June 13th; 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. Athletes under the age of 18 will be allowed to participate, but they will need to send a signed Parental Form to pulse-series@thewffa.org once registered.

    All results from the competition will be published on the official Tournify page of the event. The best two freestylers (one male and one female) will earn themselves a trip to Nairobi, Kenya to participate in the World Freestyle Football Championship Finals: for more details, check the sections below!

    Registration

    Signing up for Pulse Mombasa has a cost of 5€. The registration process will be open between April 6th and June 13th. Important: no new signups will be accepted after June 13th, so make sure to register on time!

    To sign up, follow this process:

    1. Go to the official Registration Page of the event and follow the signups process: if you’re under the age of 18, please remember to upload the corresponding Parental Form
    2. When your participation is approved, you will receive a Whatsapp message and you will be able to send the qualification video
    3. The team of judges will select the best videos and rank them to progress to the next stage of the competition

    Competition structure

    The updated Pulse Mombasa will happen completely online via Whatsapp following this timeline:

    1. Registration process: open between April 6th and June 13th. No registrations will be accepted after June 13th
    2. Qualification stage: open between June 14th and June 21st. Freestylers will be asked to send their qualification videos between those dates. No videos will be accepted after June 21st
    3. Circles: happening via Whatsapp between June 27th and July 3rd
    4. Knockdown Stage: happening via Whatsapp between July 5th and July 12th
    5. Grand Finals: happening in a live online show on the WFFA channels between July 15th and July 16th; participants will get all necessary 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, a judge selected by the Sports Committee 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 knockout stage. In case of a score draw between two freestylers, the results of the qualification stage will be used to break the tie.

    All results from the competition will be published on the official Tournify page of the event.

    Rules

    Pulse Mombasa will use the Official Rules of Freestyle Football for its online battles. Any specific rules and regulations affecting the competition will be published on the corresponding page of the WFFA website.

    Judges

    Pulse Mombasa will be evaluated by an elite team of judges, including the following:

    Each of the judges will review and evaluate every clip from the participants individually and independently. In the event of a draw during a battle or in the qualification stage, the members of the WFFA Sports Committee will jump in and break the tie.

  • 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). 

    Steve Elias, President of the WFFA, said: “This new format is designed in response to popular demand from the athletes, as it aims to give all freestylers the best possible community experience and a fair, neutral stage for all to compete on”.

    Daniel Wood, Head of Partnerships at the WFFA, said: “We are delighted to be teaming up with some fantastic regional partners to make this historical series of events a reality. A huge thank you goes out to our friends at Homeboyz Entertainment, Events DC, Mudita Sports and Ghetto Games, amongst many more: it’s going to be a huge year for Freestyle Football!”.
