Fullball - a new type of football

Fullball is a sport created by Soheil Salimipour from Iran in 2019. Fullball is a team sport, a type of new football combining elements of football and volleyball. It can be played on grass, indoor and at the beach.

What does the term fullball mean? It is actually composed of two words, full and ball. The  reason behind using the word full is that, in addition of using feet, you are allowed to use your hands too. The message of this sport is diversity, culture and peace, as well as the reduction of injuries.

Equipment Required: ball, a grass football field that needs to be modified (it also can be played indoor or on the beach)
