Welcome to UK Drone Soccer
A Brief History of
Drone Soccer
Born in South Korea in 2016, interest in Drone Soccer is gaining global traction month on month.
2023 saw the first KDSA World Championships including teams from China, Japan, France and the USA. As of October 2023 - 17 countries (of an anticipated 30) have already signed up to compete at the FIDA Drone Soccer World Cup - to be held in South Korea in October 2025.
Drone Soccer arrived in the UK in September 2023 - developed and promoted by our founding partner
UK Drone Soccer
UK Drone Soccer wanted to bring it officially to the UK and so we flew out to Korea in 2013 to learn about the sport. This is where we became the sole UK representative of FIDA the Federation of International Drone-Soccer.
Why Drone- Soccer?
It's an air-sport that gets you to work as a team, you can build a community within your own club/university/school as well as being part of the wider drone-soccer family.
It can inspire interest in aviation skills and once equipment is set-up, it has few barriers to participation.
If you're competitive you can reach expert heights with International competitions. UK Drone Soccer joined the FIDA ‘family’ (Federation of International Drone Soccer Association) in Korea because this is where the air-sport was born. FIDA are providing UK Drone Soccer with great support to enable the sport to grow and give us the latest knowledge and developments that we can share with our members as we grow.
"The beauty of this air-sport is the community it brings. As human beings we feel a sense of reward doing things with others, sharing our skills and sharing our interests. Drone soccer enables you to engage in drone technology in an exciting way where you work together, you bring yourself to the sport and literally bounce off others! It doesn't demand things that other sports do which means it's a real leveller between competitors, anyone can surprise you with their skill! This is what makes us want to develop Drone Soccer in the UK"
