2008 Free Kick Masters – One of the Most Exciting Competitions
When it comes to fast and competitive events, the Free Kick Masters has carved a special place for itself. Tagged one of the most exciting sporting events of contemporary times, the Free Kick Masters is exactly what the name suggests – a competition to determine who is the best free kicker in the world. Although the event has been held only once, it is one of the most anticipated sporting events ever and the world is now waiting for the 2008 Free Kick Masters.
The Free Kick Masters is a skills-based international association soccer competition featuring some of the world’s top rated free kick takers competing against some of the world’s top rated goalkeepers in a direct free kick shootout to declare the world’s ‘Free Kick Master’ and ‘Golden Goalkeeper’. The competition has no affiliation with or ties to FIFA but is unique in the world of soccer as it is one of the only events that features star players involved in a direct competition against one and another.
The first Free Kick Masters was first held in Marbella, Spain over a two-day period in December 2004. Developed by a team of individuals involved in international soccer, the event challenged the skills of participants by testing their accuracy and ability to make successful free kicks from distances of 18 meters, 21 meters and 25 meters. Participants were allowed to choose their approach: from the left, right or center, and were awarded points based on the number of attempts required to score a goal.
At the end of the competition, SC Heerenveen player Ugur Yildirim emerged as a surprise standout with near perfection, having amassed 25 points en route to claiming the title.
After the success of the Event in 2004, the organizers did not conduct an event in either 2005 or 2006 due to scheduling and entertainer conflicts. Even the 2007 competition scheduled for December 22 was postponed due to player and scheduling conflicts.

After a gap of 4 years, the Free Kick Master will be held in 2008. The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 5 and the venue is Reliant Stadium in Houston. One of the highlights of the 2008 Free Kick Masters competition will be the participation of Zinedine Zidane, who will come out of retirement to compete against the impressive lineup of international sports stars.
