The Inaugural World Drone Soccer Championship Kicks Off in November, Bolstering Shanghai's Bid to Become a World-Class Sports Event Hub
Today, Mr. Bin Xu, Director of the Shanghai Administration of Sports, was invited to the "2025 Shanghai Livelihood Interview" program, where he elaborated on Shanghai's digital transformation journey in sports. In this process, Shanghai has vigorously developed *"virtual sports"* — an innovative discipline that preserves the essence of traditional sports while ingeniously integrating modern technological elements. This fusion of heritage and innovation has made it a trending tech-sport among younger generations.
Beyond the high-profile virtual sports events, Shanghai will host the inaugural World Drone Soccer Championship from November 15-18, undoubtedly a crown jewel among the city’s 2025 international sporting calendar. The event will not only showcase Shanghai’s cutting-edge advancements in technology-driven sports but also reinforce its vision as an innovative, open, and world-class hub for global sporting events.
