Jassim Maz from Belgium has won the title for U-16 against another baller from Belgium, Omar Makhlouf. In addition, a new Panna Knock Out format has been tested with 16 world class players, the Panna Pro League. The game consisted of a maximum of 3 rounds of 1 minute where it was all about humiliating your opponent by showing the craziest skills with the ultimate knockout; the Panna. Anas Boukami defeated Pannahouse Invitationals world champion Ahmed Rakaba with a dope backwards Panna.
