Registration Fees (USD)

1. Youth teams must have at most one coach and two student members to register. We strongly recommend teams register all team students at once.
2. Parents or other coaches need to register as Youth parents/chaperones for permission to enter the site at any time, be admitted to certain restricted areas, and participate in social events.
3. The team's work area is not accessible at any time. Parents accompanying their children who want to visit the site only during public access hours and only in areas open to the public do not need to register but buy a visitor ticket.
4. Invitation letters to FIRA Summit only participants are issued to those with accepted publications. On the registration website, choose "Summit 2024 Event” for your possible registration.
5. All registered team members are automatically admitted to the FIRA Summit, and they do not need to register separately.

Registration will be considered complete only if the amount due is received in its totality in US Dollars in the bank account on or before the respective date (e.g., June 15, for early registration). It is your responsibility to ensure this will be the case. To help expedite the payment process, please send your wire transfer transaction information to hqoffice.fira@gmail.com. Wire transfer payments will be deactivated after July 25, 2024.

Visas and cancellation policy

Participants from some countries require a visa for Brazil. Once the team registration and member registration have been completed (received and paid in total), an invitation letter will be sent to those who requested one.
If your visa application is unsuccessful and your registration was completed (i.e., the payment received) by June 16, 2024, and your cancellation is requested before July 16, 2024, then the total registration amount will be refunded, except for a handling charge of $100 per person, if the team is also canceled. Otherwise, there is no refund.
