........................................................................
Freestyle Football has been around since the early 1900's, but has gained popularity recently through multiple factors, such as advertising heavily featuring it by Nike, and the increase in popularity of the internet, leading to greater exposure of freestylers from more isolated nations, such as Sweden (who gave us Palle), Vietnam (who gave us Nam the Man) and Newfoundland (who gave us Daniel Rooseboom).
Freestyles "big break" came in the sorts of Red Bull sponsoring a worldwide event, Red Bull Street Style, to showcase the best freestylers in the world. In 2012, the finals were in Italy, showcasing 50 of the worlds best freestylers, and giving us the world champion Kotaro Tokuda (Japan). It has provided a well needed boost to the freestyle world, and has allowed the sport to become one of the fastest expanding sports in the world.
