Bubble football,[1] or bubble soccer, is the recreation/sport of playing soccer while half-encased inside an inflated torus bubble, similar to a zorb, which covers the player's upper body and head.[2][3][4][5][6] This game is typically played in teams in large indoor spaces or outdoor fields. Bubble football follows the same objectives and overall rules as regular football (i.e., teams compete to hit a ball into the opposing team's goal) with the added condition that each player must wear an inflatable bubble, similar to a water ball, around their upper torso. Bubble soccer is often played at corporate team building days, stag parties, bachelor parties, and birthday parties. There are also many variations of bubble football,[7] such as bubble bowling, bubble sumo, bubble soccer, and airball soccer.
