WFFA Pulse Santiago 2026

The global competitive circuit of Freestyle Football returns to the Americas for yet another thrilling competition: WFFA Pulse Santiago, the South American qualifier for the Finals of the World Freestyle Football Championship, is around the corner!

This new instalment of the Pulse Series will take place in Santiago de Chile between October 7th and 11th. The best 8 freestylers (4 males and 4 females) will earn themselves a trip to the World Freestyle Football Championship!

Besides the 1×1 Battles competition acting as the qualifier for the World Finals, the Pulse Santiago 2026 week will also include the Pan American Freestyle Football Open, a tournament for all freestylers from the continent which will feature the following categories:

Routine
Challenge
Sick Three
Iron Man & Woman
Panna 1×1

The Pan American Open will also include two new categories: a National 5×5 Freestyle Battles championship, a competition created specifically for National teams of 5 freestylers (with one single team per country), and a 3×3 Street Football event which will take place before the start of the Freestyle Football tournament. Participants to both of these tournaments will be asked to let the organisers know at the check-in which team they are in and who is their captain to formalise their registration and pay the corresponding fee (50€ per 5×5 Freestyle National team, 30€ per 3×3 Street Football team).

The signups process for this event will open on April 2nd and close on September 21st; 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.

The WFFA has set up a refund policy for registrations for all Pulse Events: athletes who can’t travel due to a justified reason (i.e. sickness, injury or denial of travel visa) can ask for their money back, but in the case of the Santiago de Chile event, only before August 30th.

We expect all participants to sign up using the FS Meet widget; however, if a freestyler finds issues in the payment process or doesn’t have the ability to pay via credit card, we kindly ask them to send us an email at pulse-series@worldfreestylefootball.org and we’ll find an alternative solution for them at a small extra cost.

The organising committee strongly recommends all athletes who need a visa to get their invitation letter first using the form available below. Once they are cleared to travel, they may sign up as participants.

Athletes under the age of 18 will be allowed to participate, but they will need to send a signed Parental Form to pulse-series@worldfreestylefootball.org at the end of the registration process. For more details, check the links below!

	Find all the official results of the competition on Tournify

The global competitive circuit of the WFFA returns to the Americas for yet another thrilling Freestyle Football competition: Pulse Córdoba, the South American qualifier for the Finals of the World Freestyle Football Championship, is around the corner!

This new instalment of the Pulse Series will take place in Córdoba, Argentina, between September 25th and 29th. The best 7 freestylers (3 males and 4 females, with an extra slot for women after last year’s success) will earn themselves a trip to the World Freestyle Football Championship!

Pulse Córdoba 2024 will offer a 1×1 Battles competition, but unlike last year, this tournament will be open to South American freestylers only, following the Regional Division of the WFFA in place since early 2022. This change is due to Pulse CDMX 2024 happening in Mexico, a country freestylers from all the North American region can access more easily than the USA in 2023.

Besides the 1×1 Battles competition acting as the qualifier for the World Finals, the Pulse Córdoba 2024 week will also include the Pan American Freestyle Football Open, a tournament for all freestylers from the continent which will feature the following categories:

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.
Show Flow: a showcase of all the skills of Freestyle Football, connected in the most flawless possible way, in a show of a single minute
Iron Man & Woman: a marathon in basic lower body combinations and stamina – only for the toughest athletes!
Panna 1×1: a match between two players in which goals may count… but nutmegs are everything!

The signups process for this event will open on April 17th and close on September 17th; 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.

We expect all participants to sign up using the GameDay widget, the link to which is available above; however, if a freestyler finds issues in the payment process or doesn’t have the ability to pay via credit card or PayPal, we kindly ask them to send us an email at pulse-series@thewffa.org and we’ll find an alternative solution for them at a small extra cost.

All athletes are reminded that it is not possible to participate in two Pulse Events in the same year; however, if a freestyler signs up for a qualifier and gets injured before having been able to compete in it, they will be allowed to move their registration to Pulse Online later in the year.

The organising committee strongly recommends all athletes who need a visa to get their invitation letter first using the widget available below. Once they are cleared to travel, they may sign up as participants.

Athletes under the age of 18 will be allowed to participate, but they will need to upload a signed Parental Form at the end of the registration process. For more details, check the links below!

The best Freestyle Football in South America comes back to Argentina with Pulse Córdoba 2024
The World Freestyle Football Association has announced today the dates and format of WFFA Pulse Córdoba 2024, the official South American Freestyle Football Championship and the continental qualifier for the World Finals of the sport.

This extraordinary event, organised in partnership with the Argentinian federation, the Asociación Cordobesa de Futbol Freestyle (ACFF), will take place in the vibrant city of Córdoba, in the province of the same name, between September 25th and 29th, 2024.

Unlike last year, Pulse Córdoba 2024 will be open to South American freestylers only, following the Regional Division of the WFFA in place since early 2022. This change is due to Pulse CDMX 2024 happening in Mexico, a country freestylers from all the North American region can access more easily than the USA in 2023.

Besides the 1×1 Battles competition acting as the qualifier for the World Finals, the Pulse Córdoba 2024 week will also include the Pan American Freestyle Football Open, a tournament for all freestylers from the continent which will feature the following categories:
- Challenge
- Sick Three
- Show Flow
- Iron Man & Woman
- Routine
- Panna 1×1
The venues of the different competitions, together with the lineup of judges and plenty of other details about this thrilling event, will be announced on the official channels of the WFFA and the ACFF in the coming weeks.

Steve Elias, president of the WFFA, said: “For us, it’s just marvellous to travel to Córdoba again after last year’s massive success. We are immensely thankful to the ACFF for their extraordinary job, as well as to the city council and its sports agency for their invaluable support. We have no doubt that the 2024 edition will be even more amazing than the first one!”.

Iris Santiago, secretary of the ACFF, declared: “Last year, we achieved one of our great challenges – providing a Continental Tournament where all the involved parties felt like true stars of the Freestyle Football World. Our city supports sports and gives us the opportunity to keep pushing to become a global reference point for Freestyle Football for all those who want to be part of this wonderful discipline. We will be happy to welcome all of South America to Pulse Córdoba 2024 and hope that the Pan-American Open Freestyle Football Tournament will also be a great challenge for all those who want to experience a week filled with all the extraordinary vibes that this great continent possesses.”

Héctor ‘Pichi’ Campana, Secretary of Sports of the Municipality of Córdoba, added: “It was a true honour to preside over the presentation of Pulse Córdoba 2023 last year. The good atmosphere and positive energy that was experienced there truly filled my soul. Freestyle Football is truly an art! We will accompany them again this year so that the competitors can enjoy another fantastic event and take away great memories of our city.”

Registrations are already open on the corresponding Event Page on the website of the WFFA. For more information, follow the official channels of the Association.
