International multi-sport case study
Digital awards that met the ceremony standard of an international university Games
University sport brings together dozens of delegations, multiple sports, and a protocol-driven ceremony culture. FISU adopted digital recognition without compromising any of it.
Digital awards at an international multi-sport university Games
Official recognition delivered across multiple sports and delegations in a FISU event, where the ceremony experience still needs to feel institutional.
What Legend delivered
Digital awards delivered across multiple sports in an international university Games
A ceremony-ready recognition experience for dozens of international delegations
Branded award design aligned with the event identity and protocol requirements
Beyond a single federation
Multi-sport, multi-delegation
FISU proves the model works across a broader event environment — not just a single federation championship but a full multi-sport Games with international delegations.
Inside the event
What digital awards look like when dozens of delegations are watching
A multi-sport Games puts the ceremony experience under pressure from every delegation, every sport, and every camera. This is how it held up.
Multi-sport delivery — one system, many delegations
How one recognition system handled awards across sports and countries without losing the ceremony quality each delegation expects.
Why it mattered
Ceremony-grade experience at scale
The digital awards held up under the protocol expectations of an international multi-sport event, not just a single-sport championship.
One system across sports and delegations
Instead of managing recognition sport by sport, one system handled the full event — keeping each award official while reducing operational overhead.
Proof that the format travels
FISU adds a different kind of reference: a multi-sport, multi-delegation event where the ceremony context differs from a single federation championship.
