FAI and Australian giant drone racing team Freespace Drone Racing have agreed to extend their coordinated efforts in the development of drone racing as a global sport.
The two organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding that recognises the significant progress made by each party and outlines a three-year plan to integrate two giant drone classes into the FAI drone racing calendar.
As a proud International Olympic Committee (IOC) Recognised International Sports Federation, the FAI joins sporting organisations around the world in celebrating Olympic Day - an international initiative designed to promote fitness and wellbeing, as well as the Olympic ideals of Fair Play, Perseverance, Respect and Sportsmanship.
Introduced in 1948 to commemorate the birth of the modern Olympic Games on June 23, 1894, Olympic Day promotes participation in sports of all kinds regardless of age, gender or athletic ability.
The latest edition of the FAI Annual Report, which summarises the FAI’s activities throughout 2017, is available now.
As in previous years, the 2017 report contains details about the year’s major competitions, new world records, and, of course, the amazing achievements of air sports athletes from around the world.
FAI is delighted to be part of this year’s SportAccord Convention in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Convention, at which the Federation is proud to share a booth with its partner Red Bull Air Race, is an excellent place for FAI to exhibit its air sports activities in Asia – a big growth area for a number of FAI disciplines.
