This way of playing football was invented by two Norwegians, Henrik Elvestad and Johan Golden. They decided to combine elements of the classical football and zorbing (zorb is an orb with a human inside, who uses zorb to roll down the hill, cross a pond or another water reservoir, etc.). So, bubble football players get into big orbs made of transparent material and the game starts. Everyone tries to shoot a goal. The first game of such an unusual football took place in 2011. The game was even broadcasted by the “Golden Goal” TV show.

After that, bubble football appeared in all European countries. In Aberdeen, it is currently available in more than one sports complex. Such an unusual entertainment is a great way to have fun, launch a lot, practice somersaults, and, of course, get quite a serious physical training. One more advice – do not forget to take more drinking water as it is quite hot inside the bubble and you will have to move a lot. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
