By taking part in this competition, participants agree to FIFA’s competition terms and conditions, which are available [here](https://inside.fifa.com/innovation/innovation-programme/skeletal-tracking/terms-and-conditions).

Before participants enter the competition, they will need to:

- access ETH’s dataset directly from ETH, which will be provided in accordance with ETH’s terms and conditions, and
- access FIFA’s footage by signing and agreeing to FIFA’s content licence terms and conditions, which will be provided to you.

Participants will need to complete the SMPL Dataset Access Form and the FIFA Skeletal Tracking Light Content Licence before they can access the dataset and footage. After participants have registered their interest, they will receive more information from FIFA about how to enter. Participants may be asked to submit their predicted poses directly to evaluation platform, where an evaluation script that we may provide will automatically score the submissions.

Participants will submit their predictions on both validation and test sets. Results on the validation set will be ranked on a public leaderboard, while scores on the test set will remain hidden until the end of the competition. Participants are encouraged to submit an additional technical report after the competition.

Participating teams must submit a technical report with their final solution to be eligible for any awards.

Participants will compete for an award for the most accurate model, which will be given to the team with the highest accuracy on the test set.

The top three submissions (the winner and two runners-up) will be announced online on 3 June 2025. Participants may be invited to the CVPR 2025 and related workshops in Nashville to present their methods. Prizes include tickets to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
