Grayson Allen is a Vancouver native and football freestyler currently ranked #1 in British Columbia and #5 in Canada. Nine years performing all around the world.
He came up through competitive soccer in the Lower Mainland and played to a semi-pro level in the UK before going all in on freestyle. The skill carries straight across (control, timing, the read of a moment) and now goes into high-energy live performances built on elite ball control, crowd interaction, and the moments people remember.
Grayson has performed at fan zones, festivals, brand activations, and corporate events across North America and beyond. He works with sponsors and agencies on custom routines for product launches, with festival producers on multi-day roving and stage programs, and with brands on content shoots designed for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. He also takes on commercial shoots for brands, with work running across online media, TV, and socials.
He worked the FIFA World Cup 2026 window in Vancouver, June 13 to July 19, across the five weeks the city hosted seven matches at BC Place: hospitality activations at downtown hotels, brand content shot around False Creek and the stadium, and matchdays at BC Place. Fan zone operators, sponsors, venues, and corporate hosts still book him for live performance, branded content, and combinations of both.
