Robot soccer can be portrayed as a competition of advanced robot technology within a confined space. It offers a challenging arena to the young generation and researchers working with autonomous mobile robotic systems. It is hoped that FIRA’s flagship event, called the FIRA Robot World Cup (or the FIRA Cup in short), which started in 1996, together with many other FIRA events, will help generate interests in robotics in the young minds. The FIRA RoboWorld Cup includes competitions in many different leagues including:

• FIRA AIR includes the use of autonomous flying vehicles in urban and disaster scenarios.
• FIRA Sports was the goal of developing robot athletes that can compete against humans in Olympic events
• FIRA Challenges focuses on complex challenges in industrial, rescue, and service robot settings
• FIRA Youth are competitions for our younger participants such as the mission impossible events
