The Freestyle Football Community, regarded as the world's fastest-growing sport, rewrote history this year as the South African Freestyle Championships 2020 had two female entrants, a historic first for the annual competition.
This is after efforts by the World Freestyle Football Association (WFFA) to add to the ever-growing wave of female development in a sport that is still very much in its infancy.
After announcing Laura Biondo as the first-ever Head of Female Development, the WFFA also announced the first-ever Women’s European Freestyle Football Championships. The Los Angeles freestyle community also initiated the first female-specific competition in the United States.
