    The 2023 edition of the World Freestyle Football Championship will be hosted by the prestigious Kenyan agency Homeboyz Entertainment at the extraordinary Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on November 25th. The event will be bringing together the top 32 freestylers on the planet for a unique display of skill and competitiveness.

    The World Finalists, coming from all continents, have qualified for the event through a series of six highly competitive regional qualifiers, the Pulse Series.

    As an added bonus of the relationship, four of the World Finalists will have the opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy in January for a content creation experience in Turin.

    The World Freestyle Football Association has unveiled the visual identity of the 2023 edition of its most competitive tournament: the World Freestyle Football Championship (WFFC), which this year will take place in Nairobi, Kenya in late November.

The athletes who have made it to this year’s World Final have been selected through the Pulse Series, comprising 6 events across all inhabited continents —Africa, Europe, North America, South America and Asia-Pacific— plus an Online qualifier for those who couldn’t make it to a physical competition.

    This year’s edition of the WFFC will be held at the extraordinary Bomas of Kenya, in the capital city of Nairobi. The event will be co-organised together with the prestigious Homeboyz, the leading sports events and communications agency in Kenya and in the whole Eastern Africa region.

    Lucaso Škoda, Head of Operations at the WFFA, said: “The 2023 edition of the WFFC will be the first-ever with the new global format and under the full ownership of the community. This is yet another evidence of the growth and strength not just of the WFFA as an organisation, but also of the sport of Freestyle Football itself. We can’t wait to put out this extraordinary show to the world!”.

  • Sopot, Poland selected to host the 2024 European Freestyle Football Pulse Event

    Sopot, Poland selected to host the 2024 European Freestyle Football Pulse Event

    The World Freestyle Football Association announced today that, after a hotly contested application process featuring up to 16 destinations presenting their ideas and wishes, the host city for the 2024 edition of the European Pulse Event has been selected: the championship will take place in the Polish seaside and spa city of Sopot!

    The Association chose Sopot after a comprehensive and unparalleled presentation that brought stakeholders from across the whole city together, including the Mayor’s Office, the Visit Sopot agency, and the City Sports Centre. The passion and impeccable logistics of the Polish city have convinced the WFFA officials about the suitability of the selection over other candidate destinations, which included the likes of Barcelona, Thessaloniki, Bled, Trieste, and Murcia.

    The event is proposed to take place between late May and early June 2024, with more details to be announced later in 2023. 

    The 2023 edition of the European Pulse Event, the first to happen in the continent after the new global competitive system was introduced by the WFFA earlier this year, took place last July 28th and 29th in Riga, Latvia, and was held in partnership with local street sports association Ghetto Games. Legendary freestylers Mélody Donchet (France) and Erlend Fagerli (Norway) were crowned as European champions, with eight more freestylers (four men and four women) also clinching the qualification for the World Finals that will take place in Nairobi, Kenya later this year.

    Dan Wood, Head of Partnerships at the WFFA, said, “We are so excited to bring Pulse to Sopot. The proposal and partnership mapped out by the city were truly impressive and the Key Leader team at the WFFA were unanimous in their decision. It’s also great for the extraordinary Polish Freestyle Football community to have an international competition of this level in their home country”.

    Magdalena Czarzyńska-Jachim, Deputy Mayor of City of Sopot, said, “We’re very proud and happy to become the host of the European Freestyle Football Pulse Event in 2024. Sopot will be the first Polish city which will get an opportunity to organise this international competition. We’ll do our best to prepare an outstanding venue with a seaview to attract both freestylers and guests!”.

    About Sopot

    Sopot is a beautiful spa resort in the north of Poland on the Baltic Sea. It is an extraordinary city of intellectual inspiration, festivals, sports events, sandy beaches, green areas and wonderful opportunities to relax. 

    Sopot is undoubtedly the most beautiful resort in Poland today. Already in the 19th century, patients who wanted to improve their health thanks to healing baths were coming to Sopot. 200 years later, the city proudly celebrates and continues its spa resort traditions. Beautiful sandy beaches, the longest wooden pier in Europe, the spectacular Forest Opera and the famous Monciak (Monte Cassino Street) still attract tourists and patients.
