What is Frescoball?
Originating from Rio de Janeiro, the sport of frescoball was developed in 1945 on Copacabana Beach. It has since gained popularity on beaches worldwide. Frescoball is distinctive as it focuses on cooperation rather than competition, where players work together to maintain a rally. With a game duration of five minutes at a seven-meter distance, it embodies the essence of a supportive sport, emphasizing teamwork and friendship. The JFBA is also engaged in international collaboration, working toward unified rules with the Rio Frescoball Federation (FEFERJ) to establish the first global governing body for the sport, known as UAFI, with plans for an agreement by October 2025. Overall, frescoball embodies the spirit of fun, creativity, and collaboration, making it an ideal addition to Japan's sports tourism landscape.
