ASM Northern Region, in collaboration with the Centre of Excellence for Advanced Sensor Technology (CEASTech), Universiti Malaysia Perlis, organized the program FAIT 2025: Football AI Tournament – Enhancing STEM Through Sports and Play, held from 4 to 14 August 2025.

The program provided students with the opportunity to explore STEM learning interactively through a sensor-based football league, where player performance was monitored in real time. In addition, participants were introduced to 3D design and artificial intelligence (AI) analysis.

The initiative highlighted ASM’s expertise through the involvement of Associate Professor Dr. Ammar Zakaria and Associate Professor Dr. Latifah Munirah Kamarudin, both recipients of the Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM) award.

FAIT 2025 attracted the participation of 60 secondary school students and 250 primary school students, along with international students from the A3I Asia Plus campus, including representatives from the University of Yamanashi, Japan, and Pukyong National University, South Korea.

This approach is considered unique as it not only integrates technology with sports but also sparks students’ interest in pursuing careers in STEM by exposing them to future-oriented technologies.
