The sport was officially launched to the world in 2004 and has since been introduced to various countries in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Bossaball has taken off in countries such as Belgium, Spain, Netherlands and Brazil. Currently, Netherlands is the only country that has a major bossaball league. Bossaball was introduced to Singapore in late 2007 by Mohamad Saifudin, the founder of Bossaball Singapore. In 2009, Singapore sent a team to participate in the Bossaball World Cup held in Turkey. Other countries that participated include Brazil, Belgium, Netherlands and Kuwait. Singapore is one of the first countries to actively promote Bossaball to the community and the sport is now included in physical education lessons in some schools.
