Freestyle skills

The Freestyle Football Federation is the governing body for the sport of freestyle football, promoting the sport as a natural approach to developing skill, staying fit and being healthy to young people allover the world. It is guided by 25 respected freestyle experts who act as ambassadors across 20 countries on 5 continents. These ambassadors are pioneers within the sport and each have their regional and national networks of up to 100,000 freestylers.

F3 provides an information portal and social platform for freestylers, enthusiasts and others to get involved with freestyle football worldwide. This network is available to assist partner organisations and their projects around the globe, adding value to events and leaving a consistent legacy of skills. F3 will provide freestylers to offer tricks workshops to players along The Ball’s route. Young people will be able to try out these tricks with The Ball as it passes through communities between London and Johannesburg.
