FIRA Cup Iran is the national stage of the FIRA competitions: Iranian teams compete in the same international leagues, and the best are put forward for the FIRA RoboWorld Cup.
Why it suits school students
Because of the age structure. FIRA runs official U12, U14 and U19 brackets in many leagues, so a twelve-year-old competes against peers, not a university team. That single fact makes FIRA the fastest route from an Iranian classroom to an international medal.

The exact line-up shifts between editions; the official call for that year is the final authority.
From the national stage to the world final
- Register within the announced window, choosing league and age bracket.
- Technical judging and mission runs on competition day.
- Place — and in many cases receive an invitation or qualification slot.
- Re-prepare for the world edition, which usually applies stricter rules and denser competition.
Novin Zehn's record
Novin Zehn Academy teams took twelve placements at FIRA Cup Iran 2026 — including first place in both U14 and U19 Smart Home — with earlier titles at FIRA events in Türkiye and Canada. Those results come from a multi-month preparation programme, not seasonal entry.
Where to start
If your child has no competition experience: one foundation course in robotics or smart home → practice against the real league rules → enter FIRA Cup Iran in their own age bracket. A team that has trained a full term is already competitive on debut.
Frequently asked questions
What ages can register?
Depending on the league, from around 9–10 in U12 up through U19 and then adult. Each league defines its own brackets in the official call.
Do we need to buy a ready-made robot?
No. In most leagues the robot must be built and programmed by the team itself; ready-made robots reduce technical scores or are disallowed.
How early should we start?
At least six months for a competitive entry. Teams starting two or three months out usually gain experience rather than placings.
