Instead of human players, AI agents built by the participants take the field. Teams put together an agent, plan a strategy and then play matches against other teams in real time.

The listing states that 32 teams and 96 participants can take part, with prizes for the winners. Programming knowledge and football skills are not required, only an interest in AI, according to the same post. People can sign up alone or with friends.

Participation is free and the number of places is limited. The post points to Halyk Bank's website for information and registration.
