As the SPL league Executive Committee announced to the teams tonight, the RoboCup Federation Trustees have voted to end the Standard Platform League after this competition. Going forward, our league will be merged with the Humanoid Kid-Size League.

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

Catch up the competition so far on the league YouTube channel: youtube.com/@robocupspl?si=4… The last full day of RoboCup Standard Platform League starts tomorrow at 9:00 BST (UTC-3)!

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!

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!

Challenge Shield Round 2 WisTex United 6:0 Naova WisTex claimed its second victory in two matches with a resounding performance via Naova. Despite the result, the well-organized Naova defense put up a good fight, which should serve them well later in the tournament.

Champions Cup Round 2 B-Human 5:0 RoboEireann @pennybhuman continues their dominance in the SPL league with a solid victory over a scrappy RoboEireann team that wouldn't go down without a fight!

Champions Cup Round 1 Nao Devils 0:7 @Team_HULKs A big victory for the HULKs in their opening match to make a statement! But don't count the tough-defending Nao Devils out of future matches!

Champions Cup Round 1 RoboEireann 2:1 rUNSWift A late comeback from @unsw_ai fell just short as newly-promoted RoboEireann team wins their first match in the Champions Cup!

Champions Cup Round 1 @pennybhuman 8:0 @naoteamhtwk A commanding performance by the defending champions to open their campaign against #2 HTWK Robots.

Challenge Shield Round 1 SABANA Herons 10:0 Dutch Nao Team In the first match of the Challenge Shield, @unisabana SABANA Herons' offense was just too much for the home team @dutchnaoteam defense.

Challenge Shield Round 1 R-ZWEI Kickers 1:2 WisTex United A highly competitive match was decided by a last-second first-half goal by the newly combined WisTex United team.

First match of the tournament! @SPQRTeamRoboCup 4:0 Berlin United
