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.

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 Córdoba event, only before August 30th.

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!
