Freestyle football is the art of juggling a football using any part of the body, excluding the elbows to the 6️⃣ hands. It combines football tricks, dance, acrobatics and music to entertain onlookers and compete with opponents. The official governing body 6️⃣ for this sport is known as the World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA).[1][2]
History [ edit ]
The art of freestyle football can 6️⃣ be traced to games of Southeast Asia such as chinlone, jianzi and sepak takraw, which have been practised for 2,000 6️⃣ years. Fundamental freestyle tricks such as the 'Neck Stall' and 'Around The World' were first popularly performed in the West 6️⃣ by circus performers, notably including Enrico Rastelli and Francis Brunn.[3][4]
In the 1970s and 1980s, Argentine footballer Diego Maradona famously brought 6️⃣ his freestyle 'Life is Life' warm-up to international attention while playing for SSC Napoli. The ability to freestyle, however, was 6️⃣ widely criticized at the time as not having direct relevance to playing the game of football.[citation needed]
At the beginning of 6️⃣ the 21st century, several significant events helped elevate freestyle football with broader recognition. Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho starred in Nike advertising 6️⃣ campaigns such as 'Joga Bonito' (English: The Beautiful Game), which popularized the ability to practice alone with a ball and 6️⃣ develop new moves and tricks.[5]
