This year marked an important milestone of the international-level competition as DIFC was renamed as DIFF with eight international teams attending.
In this year’s firework festival which wrapped up on June 30 in Danang City, the Italian team Martarello SRL took the first prize, while second and third prize winners went to the Australia and UK teams respectively.
