FMC Latin America 2025

Eighty-five competitors took to their stations across Multiple Cities, XM on August 24, 2025, turning their analytical skills toward a single shared objective. Running a synchronized, multi-venue speedcubing tournament across multiple sites presents a massive operational challenge, relying entirely on the dedicated work of the organizing teams, delegates, and local volunteers. Thanks to their careful coordination, the single-day gathering went off without a hitch, giving every entrant an equal platform to tackle the standard Rubik's Cube under strict competition conditions.

The sheer scale of staging FMC Latin America 2025 across dispersed venues required precise timing and seamless communication from organizers and judging staff alike. Speed cubing in the fewest moves format demands an hour of intense concentration per attempt, with officials monitoring moves, sheets, and official solutions at every site. The staff ensured that all eighty-five participants had the resources and oversight necessary to complete their official attempts cleanly, keeping the entire continent connected through one unified competition structure.

When all the submitted solutions were tallied, Anuar Miguel Abib Onofre of Brazil captured the top spot on the podium at FMC Latin America 2025. Demonstrating exceptional analytical precision, Onofre posted a winning mean of 24.33 moves across the single round, anchored by a best single solution of 22 moves. The Brazilian solver maintained high efficiency across each attempt, outlasting a competitive field of continental specialists to take home first place in the year 2025.

The remaining steps on the podium were claimed by Argentina in a closely fought battle for the top rankings. Guido Dipietro secured second place overall with a solid 26.00 average, matching the champion's single effort by logging a 22-move solve of his own during the round. Matías Ponte followed right behind in third place, recording a single solve of 26 moves on his way to a final average of 26.67 moves, giving Argentina two of the three podium positions at the conclusion of the event.
