Jorkyball is a format of two vs two football.[1] It is played in a 10 m (33 ft) by 5 m (16 ft) cage on artificial turf with the possibility of using the walls to pass, dribble, and score. As in football it is played only with the feet and use of hands is forbidden. The objective is to score goals into a net. As in squash and paddle, the sport is played in a four-walled court and all of them can be used including the net above, i.e. there is no outside. The governing body is the Jorkyball International Federation.
Three on two jorkyball was invented by the French Gilles Paniez in 1987.[2][3][4][5] It started in a garage in Lyon, France. Jorkyball was first played in front of a large audience at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy as an exhibition. Since then, the number of jorkyball players has been increasing.[citation needed]
Jorkyball is currently played in 13 countries and expanding: France, Italy, Portugal, Canada, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Japan, Mexico, India and Israel.[citation needed]
