First drone soccer game in GBA held

The Hong Kong China Drone Sports Association has organized the first-ever Greater Bay Area drone soccer league on Saturday (Mar 14). The competition saw participation from 10 cities in the Greater Bay Area.

The team from Dongguan claimed the championship, while the Eastern District Drone Association Hong Kong secured second place, and the Shenzhen representative team took third.

Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan attended the event and operated a drone soccer under the guidance of a Hong Kong team representative. 

Chan highlighted the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, noting that 20 projects, relatively mature and low-risk, including facade cleaning and drone delivery, have been scaled up and constantly developed since the introduction of the Low-altitude Economy Regulatory Sandbox.

She added that these will be expanded to more complex application scenarios, which are expected to roll out in the first half of this year.
