#FGC2026Incheon
Before the robots rolled out, the world showed up. 🌎
Right before the Opening Ceremony, teams filled the pits in cultural attire, proudly representing the places they call home.
Nearly 200 nations. Thousands of traditions. One global community. 🤝
🤖 One last look at the competition floor.
Months of building brought these teams to Incheon. By the final day, their robots had battle scars, their lanyards were covered in gifts from new friends, and 190+ countries had become one global community. 🌎
10 days after the FIRST Global Challenge ended and it's just as beautiful now as it was then. ❤️🌏

The dancing begins before the event even kicks off. 💃🕺 That's the beauty of FIRST Global: it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, the life-long friendships and memories begin as soon as you enter the venue.
🤔Remember the feeling of walking into the pits for the first time? It's never going to leave you, because you're a global citizen now. You've made friends with every country on Earth and you did it because you're worth being friends with. 🤗 That's your destiny. Never forget it!
