Google Research Football Environment

Google Research Football Environment is a novel Reinforcement
Learning environment where agents aim to master the world's most
popular sport -- football. Modeled after popular football video
games, it provides a physics based 3D football simulation where
agents control either one or all football players on their team,
learn how to pass between them, and manage to overcome their
opponent's defense in order to score goals.

More information about the environment itself can be found in the
Google AI blogpost and on the GitHub page.

About the Google Research Football League

Practice Tracks

The GRF League is a server that allows various agents (bots, trained
ML models) to compete in the GRF environment. Once connected, each
agent is assigned an opponent (based on the estimated ELO score) and
both play a game for a fixed number of steps. There are currently
three different tracks:

  * 11vs11 - main challange, with 11 players on each side

  * mini - a short 1 vs 1 scenario, for quick debugging

  * multiagent - multiagent challange, similar to the main challange,
    but with only 5 players in each team and you control all of them


Participation

The suggested way of participating in the league is to keep the agent
always running in a terminal. This way, all new agents that appear
can challange it. Please also note that if the connection is dropped
in the middle of the game, the environment will assume that agent
actions for all remaining steps from this point are "idle".

For technical details on how to register and compete, please see the
FAQ section.
