The World Games 2025

The World Games, organised by the International World Games Association (IWGA), is the world’s second-largest multi-sport event, following the Olympic Games. This global event provides an exceptional platform for FAI and its top competitors to showcase the speed, precision, and excitement of air sports on an international stage, reaching a global audience and media.

The 12th edition of The World Games will take place from 7–17 August 2025 in Chengdu, China, with the Chengdu Local Organising Committee (LOC) working alongside IWGA to deliver an unforgettable competition.

Air sports will be represented by Drone Racing, where elite pilots will test their speed and skill in a high-intensity competition that pushes the boundaries of technology and human reflexes.

Drone Racing is a test of a pilot’s ability to beat other competitors by racing on a specially built racing track flying through gates and around obstacles to reach the finish line in the fastest time after completing three laps. Speedy, exciting, and highly skilled, it’s one of the fastest growing air sports in the world today.

The drones are generally built by the pilots themselves and are designed for speed and agility. They are powered with electric motors by electric batteries giving possibility to fly speeds over 100 mph, meaning pilots need very fast reactions to fly them.

The drones are remote controlled by their pilot wearing googles to pilot the drone with the video feed received from the drone on-board camera. A LED light device is sinstalled on the drone with possibility to select the colour so that the drones flying in the race may be identified with different colours.
