The F9A-A category is intended for those seeking extreme speed and a vast playing field experience.

This level not only tests participants’ piloting abilities but also requires exceptional strategic thinking and adaptability. Notably, the F9A-B category will also feature a Women’s Division, aiming to further encourage the broad participation of female athletes and promote gender equality within the drone sports sector, contributing to the continued growth and success of drone soccer.
