Dear Hitomi Nakaso, thanks for reaching out. We are excited to hear ARD wants to cover the upcoming tournament in Incheon, especially given that Germany will be the host of the 2027 edition of RoboCup! We will make sure that you receive press passes on site. Can you please tell us some further details: - which day(s) are you planning to cover the event / be on site? - how big is the production crew that you are bringing so we can make sure we have the right number of press passes ready for you We are also happy to make someone from our media team available to work with you on site, help you navigate the different leagues and competitions happening and find interview partners should this be of interest to you. Just let us know how we can support the production.

Dear 2026 Incheon Local Organizing Committee, I think there is a little bit of a general misunderstanding here. The production is expected to be fully run by the local organizing committee. This is how it was done in 2024 in Eindhoven and 2025 in Salvador. The Federation does not have a dedicated team to run the production, especially not on such a short notice. Running the production includes the technical setup, but also the production team that oversees scheduling and direction on set, plus providing the hosts for the stream. As a Federation, we are happy to support in planning the production beforehand and on-site. For example, we happily facilitate the communication with the leagues, help the scheduling and get commentators for the individtual games from the leagues. With more lead-up time, we would have been able to also provide more people to run the on-site production. We have experienced teams from 2024 and 2025 and Germany; however, with less than two weeks of a heads up, there is little we can do. This is why we had asked you to meet with us already back in January. Unfortunately, we have not received any information or any request for help from your end until now. Here is what we will be able to provide during the competition: - Patricia, who is in CC and who has led the production last year, will be there to help you with the production and the scheduling. However, she has other duties to fulfill for the Federation, so she cannot be the lead producer. She will provide you with a minimum list of staff members that are required on-site to run the production shortly. - We also have Sina joining us in person, who is a professional media engineer. She can produce break screens and animations for the stream. - Junior has kindly agreed to make two volunteers available part-time that support the production, especially for the communication with the different teams on site. - Our team will facilitate the communication with the leagues on-site and enusre each game has a commentator and people for interviews - We may be able to provide support for the hosts of the stream. However, it is necessary for you to have at least two local hosts that are able to speak fluent English and Korean for the stream and that are happy to be on camera. We have a set of additional questions for you: - When will the cameras and the streaming setup be ready for testing? - Will at least one camera plus crew be available on Wednesday already so we can record videos for cut scenes and breaks? - Is there a studio setup planned, or where will the fixed camera be located? - Do you have a professional editor who will be mixing the images from the different camera streams together? Regarding the schedule: As RoboCup is a very dynamic event, the schedule for the next day will only be finalized the evening of the day beforehand. This will be done in cooperation with the individual leagues and is a complex process. It is set up to ensure that all leagues will get screen time and that we schedule each league when there is an exciting match or event happening. Patricia will be happy to help whoever leads the production on your end wth the scheudle.

Stands for video recording cameras in the Humanoid Soccer League
by Thomas Klute 23 Jun '26

23 Jun '26

Dear Local Organizing Committee, Thank you very much for all your efforts in making RoboCup 2026 a success! I am writing to you as a member of the Technical Committee of the Humanoid Soccer League with a few questions regarding the pitch layout. Background: We are preparing cameras to record all matches on the 12 pitches and to provide a live YouTube stream for each pitch. These cameras must be mounted at the side of the pitch at a height of 2.5 to 3 m. For this we have specified in the HSL requirements document one ‘lighting pole/mast + base (approx. 2.5 m high, 30–35 mm in diameter)’ per pitch. Question 1: We would like to ensure that these lighting poles are actually in place, one per pitch, i.e. a total of 12 lighting poles. Can you confirm that these masts are in place or will be in place? Question 2: We have heard that there will be nets to separate the playing fields from one another. Given the force with which the new robots can shoot a ball, it may also be necessary to protect our cameras. Could you send us some images of the venue set-up (if already available)? We would like to know whether and how we can protect our cameras from being struck by high-speed balls. Thank you very much and best regards, Thomas

Dear LOC, can you confirm the times in which we can schedule games on the last game day? There is a screenshot floating around that says final matches are from 8 AM till 3 PM on Sunday July 5th. Can we use the whole time to schedule the final games? Best Stella Schlotter OC Humanoid Soccer League

Media Regsitration
by Roberto Bonilla, MScITM 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

Hi LOC team, I think there is a miscommunication here, as we have started receiving media requests for invitation letters. We can only provide letters to RoboCup participants who are fully registered and paid. Basically, people we are sure will be there and will request a Visa to be at RoboCup. Media accreditation, as I understand it, goes through you, since you need to approve who you think will best serve your needs. I will redirect all media requests back to you for review. If you think appropriate, please generate invitation letters for them.

Dear 2026 Local Organizing Committee, With less than one month remaining before the competition begins, we have not yet received the advertising materials required under the local host organizing committee agreement, apart from the mascot and logo. As stipulated in the contract, all advertising materials were to be provided by the LOC no later than three (3) months prior to the competition. The material shall be of sufficient quality and content to enable RCF to promote the competition on its official websites, in press releases, and across social media channels. We are aware of the @robocup_2026 Instagram channel established recently by your team. However, the content published there has been in Korean only and therefore cannot serve as the basis for RCF's international promotion efforts. Given the proximity of the event, we ask that the following be provided immediately: # Social Media Content Prior to Competition - Two fully translated social media posts per week, beginning this week and continuing until the start of RoboCup, for a total of eight (8) posts. - Each post should include: - The share graphic(s) with English text; - An English caption suitable for publication. You may either: Publish the posts through your own Instagram account and invite @robocup_official as a collaborator; or provide the source materials to us by email, allowing us to publish them directly. Patricia, who is responsible for our social media posts from the Federation side, is in CC of this e-mail and you are welcome to contact her with the material for posting. The preferred publication method is at your discretion. # Social Media Coverage Plan Please provide, no later than *12 June*, a plan outlining social media coverage during the event, including: - The expected number of posts per day; - The number of posts that will be published in English; - The number of photographers and videographers assigned to event coverage; - The process by which photos and videos will be made available to the Federation Media Team on a daily basis # Broadcast Production Plan In addition, the hosting agreement assigns responsibility for the production of the competition finals broadcast to the LOC. As we have not yet received information regarding these arrangements, we also request that the following be provided by *12 June*: - The broadcast schedule; - A high-level description of the technical setup, including the number and type of cameras and microphones available, and whether equipment will be fixed to specific leagues or used as portable units; - The organizations and personnel responsible for stream production, including any outsourced technical or production services; - The process by which raw footage will be made available to RCF for distribution via our Twitch channel; - The arrangements for providing English-language commentary during the broadcast. We appreciate your prompt attention to these matters and look forward to receiving the requested materials and plans by the dates indicated above. If there are any questions, the RCF Media team is happy to clarify them in a meeting. With kind regards, Maike

Dear Local Organizing Committee, we have two student influencers from Bordeaux who would like to travel to Incheon and attend RoboCup with media accreditation: - Antonin Cochon "Auberge des Internets" Youtube : https://youtube.com/@aubergedesinternets 22k subscribers and 2.4M cumulated views Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/auberge.des.internets Tiktok : https://www.tiktok.com/@aubergedesinternets - Manon Milleret "Auberge des Internets" YouTube : https://youtube.com/@ingenieureenherbe?si=Hvol810gmiy_unXm TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@ing_en_herbe?_r=1&_t=ZN-96s5iNO9T3G Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/ingenieure_en_herbe?igsh=MWduYmVnbGFzc2g2Yg%3D%3D… They will also be collaborating with the Federation Media Team on site. They are requesting to get pre-approval by the LOC to confirm that they will receive media accreditation as it otherwise does not make sense for them to travel. I am personally in favor of getting them media accreditation, especially as they will be working with the Federation Media team. Can you please confirm if they will be granted a media pass? Kind regards Maike
