South Africa Ready for Freestyle Football Elite

Watch the world’s finest battle it out head-to-head for the title of Best Freestyle Footballer!

2010 is seeing more soccer events kicking Cape Town with the best soccer battles taking place at the Red Bull Street Style Championships!

After over 200 qualifying tournaments featuring more than 5000 would-be champions, the countdown is now well and truly on to the World Final of Red Bull Street Style 2010.

Following the high-level competition in 2008, the best ballers from up to 60 countries are set to face off on April 28, 2010 in Cape Town to crown the best freestyle footballer on the planet. The rules are simple: 3 minutes, 2 players, 1 ball.

The Event will take place in front of the seventeenth-century Castle of Good Hope - South Africa’s oldest surviving building - in the shadow of the iconic Table Mountain and just a stone’s throw from the Grand Parade, the city’s main square and home to the Cape Town City Hall.

Former Juventus Turin, AC Milan and Barcelona midfielder Edgar Davids (NED) will be joined as Head Judge by two more icons of the Beautiful Game to elect the world’s best freestyle footballer.
