Other sporting events get away with it.
MLB and the World Series for example, when there is exactly one international team (Toronto Blue Jays).
The Super Bowl winner is called the "world champion" and the NFL contains zero international teams.
FIRST actually
is an international competition. Why not erase all ambiguity, and call it the title it rightly deserves--FIRST World Championships (or FIRST World Championship Event)?
