On Wednesday, the UK hosted its first ever Drone Soccer tournament at Wigston Academy in Leicestershire. This unique event combines the sport of football and drone technology, which is encased in a protective ball-shaped cage. The concept of Drone Soccer originated in South Korea.
The tournament was organized by Drone Sports Ltd, and according to one of the organization’s representatives, this extraordinary sport has an enticingly futuristic tone to it. One of the players, Oscar, aged 12, expressed that the game isn’t a pushover, adding that he got three goals in three minutes. He is also quoted to have said, “There’s nothing like this and it’s really fun”.
Although this was the first time this sort of event was being held in the UK, it has been played in other countries before.
