Congratulations to RoboEireann on an excellent tournament! The Ireland-based team promoted from the development "Challenge Shield" league to the "Champions Cup" this year, finished 4th in the seeding round, and won the third-place match to finish third in the tournament!

This year, our SPL league played three friendly matches vs. Humanoid league robots -- 2 on our fields and 1 on a Humanoid field. B-Human adapted to the different field and a different ball to win both of their matches with a score of 6:0 after just the first half!

Excited to discuss the Future of RoboCup during this year's RoboCup symposium.
