The Pulse Series landed in Colombia in 2025 to set up an extraordinary tournament: WFFA Pulse Medellín brought the best South American freestylers together for an incredible show between September 24th and 27th. The event featured not just a 1×1 battles competition to determine the eight representatives of the region at the World Freestyle Football Championship later this year (4 women and 4 men), but also a series of tournaments (Sick ThreeIron Man & Woman and Routines) for the Pan American community to showcase all their skills and passion for the sport.

The qualifiers were held between September 24th and 26th at the underground Hangar M45, an iconic heliport in the suburbs of Medellín, while the Finals took place on September 27th at the Florida Parque Comercial mall in the centre of the city. The local crowd enjoyed a magnificent show at the latter, with hundreds of fans cheering for the tricks of the best South American freestylers.

A true legend of the sport, Laura Biondo, from Venezuela, took the title again in the female category, while a rising star, Igna Chávez from Argentina, shocked the world and earned his first championship in this category against the local favourite.

The excitement did not end there, as five more freestylers (two men and two women) earned their places in the upcoming World Finals:

  • Cata Vega, Chile
  • Sebastián ‘Machine’ Peña, Chile
  • Mariana Taborda, Colombia
  • Nico Gondra, Argentina
  • Soledad Arena, Argentina
  • Esteban ‘Mompi’ Gómez, Colombia

The adventure of the Pulse Series doesn’t stop here, though, and the competition will travel now to Jakarta, Indonesia to crown the Asia-Pacific regional champions and find six more World Finalists – a total of three ladies and three gentlemen.
