''' Freestyle [[Association football|football]]''', also known as '''freestyle soccer''' in [[North America]], is the art of expressing yourself with a football, while performing various tricks with any part of the body. Similar in style to [[keepie uppie]], [[kemari]] and the ball discipline of [[rhythmic gymnastics]], it has become a widespread [[sport]](contracted; show full)

In 2011, the [[WFSLeague]] (World Foot Style League) was created to structure the sport and establish competitions on regular basis. 
The WFSLeague uses a new kind of judging and scoring system (proprietary) that differs from all other competitions.
The WFSLeague started in Tokyo and Osaka for the 2011 season.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rPdtks_ihU|title= WFSLeague Tokyo 2011 TV documentary |accessdate=2011-04-08}}</ref>
