The 2024 edition of the Super Ball World Open, the greatest and most celebrated Freestyle Football event on the globe, concluded on Saturday, August 24th with an absolutely extraordinary Finals held at the picturesque town square in Liberec, Czech Republic. With a completely revamped show and four brand-new venues, this year’s event truly broke all records – including that of participants, with up to 272 freestylers taking part in the competition.
The event started with the qualifiers of a variety of competitions taking place at the Sports Hall of the Babylon Wellness Hotel and concluded with French rising powerhouse Tristan Gac, the current European champion, taking gold in the male 1×1 Battles category after beating Colombian superstar Sebastián ‘Machine’ Peña in the Grand Final. Dutch master and 2023 Super Ball champion Jesse Marlet had to settle for the bronze medal this time.
In the female Pro category, British teenage rising star Isabel ‘Izzy’ Wilkins repeated her extraordinary feat from 2023 and won gold yet again after defeating French icon Yoanna Dallier; yet another teenage promise, Sofie Johannsen from Denmark, took the third spot on the podium.
Besides the Pro bracket, the 1×1 Battles tournament also featured the NextGen and Division 2 categories; in the former, Polish sensation Pan Pawel won the title thanks to his victory against German Felix Kraemer, while in the latter, Belarusian freestyler Python took the crown after beating Futbolín from Colombia in the Final.
For the first time, the 2024 edition of Super Ball hosted the Footbag World Championships as well, an event organised together with the International Footbag Players Association. The great success of the Footbag competitions in Liberec and the harmony between both communities paved the way for a fruitful collaboration across this and other events in the future.
