Foleyballon

Foleyballon is a fictional team sport described across video games, literature, and tabletop rulebooks. The game is played on a rectangular pitch by two teams, with the objective of scoring by guiding a soft, inflatable ball into the opponent’s goal. The ball is balloon-like and designed to be light and highly controllable; during normal play, players use any part of the body except the hands, while goalkeepers may handle the ball within their own penalty area.

Teams typically consist of eleven players per side. A Foleyballon match unfolds in two halves with a halftime interval, and play is punctuated by stoppages for fouls, injuries, or substitutions. The rules emphasize safety and skill, encouraging passing, dribbling, aerial play, and tactical positioning. Offside or line-ball rules are used in some variants to regulate forward momentum and prevent constant crowding near the goal.

Equipment and field are similar to those used in conventional football, though the ball itself is inflatable and lighter. Goals are placed at each end with nets, and the field surface may be natural grass or synthetic turf. Players wear standard uniforms and appropriate footwear; referees oversee matches and enforce fouls, out-of-bounds calls, and disciplinary measures.

Origins and cultural notes: Foleyballon is described as originating in the fictional region of Foley and has a niche following in fan communities. It has been incorporated into various media as a playable sport mechanic, and amateur leagues or school projects may adopt simplified versions for demonstration and training in teamwork, balance, and spatial awareness.
