bossaball on euro 2008


As we already posted here before, bossaball was invited at the dutch fanbase site “Oranjecamping” in Switzerland during the EURO 2008 UEFA European football Championship.

One day, various ex-international soccer players from the Netherlands paid a visit to the fans of the national team and were spending some time on the domain.

They saw some people playing bossaball and just couldn’t resist.
They jumped onto the bossaball court and started having a ball.
Check the video to see the action.

Names of the players :
John van den Brom : Ajax Amsterdam, Istanbulspor, Dutch national team
Aron Winter : Ajax Amsterdam, Lazio Roma, Dutch national team
Richard Witschge : Ajax Amsterdam, FC Barcelona, Dutch national team

Bossaball Singapore promo video

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Nice bossaball Singapore promo video on YouTube with images shot in May 2008.

Looks like the local demo team, although still pretty young, is coming up to speed.

As you can see, the ball control foot skills  of some of these South East Asian bossaball players are developing in a pretty unique way. The style is closely related to “Sepak Takraw“, which is a century-old local kick volleyball tradition. This makes their kick approach different from European and Brazilian soccer and juggling related bossaball styles.

We are really looking forward to see this style advance and develop into a special local flavour.
