Company profile
researched Aug 2026Legend (belegends.com) is a managed service that provides digital awards for sports federations and major sporting events. It produces official trophies, medals, diplomas and certificates in digital format, custom-designed for each event, federation and ceremony context, and delivers them to athletes as a permanent official record.
The service is positioned as end-to-end rather than self-serve software: Legend handles award design, preparation of athlete and results data drawn from lists, result exports and spreadsheets, issuance and recipient notification, and the maintenance of a public record. Delivered awards remain accessible through a component called Museum and can be validated by third parties through a verification function called Verify.
Business model
Legend operates as a managed service for institutional clients, taking on award design, data preparation, issuance and record-keeping on behalf of federations and event organisers rather than supplying a tool the client runs itself.
Traction
WBSC has used the service across multiple championship formats and award types since 2022, with estimated award emissions reported as falling from 4,000 t to 0.5 t CO2e. The Panam Sports/APC program is credited with more than 27,000 medals and diplomas delivered, spanning Santiago 2023 through Asuncion 2025, including accessible audio diplomas for Para athletes.
Latest developments
Continued delivery through Asuncion 2025 within the Panam Sports and APC continental recognition program.

Market position
Presents itself as a supplier of official digital recognition to sports governing bodies, with adoption at federation level (WBSC since 2022) and at continental multi-sport games level (Santiago 2023 and Asuncion 2025 with Panam Sports and APC).
Positions on sustainability, replacing part of the materials, printing and shipping burden of physical awards; on removing manual post-event certificate coordination; and on giving athletes a verifiable, permanent official record. The company cites inclusion of the WBSC deployment in the IOC International Federation Sustainability Case Study.
Technology
Digital award artefacts (trophies, medals, diplomas and certificates) issued to athletes through a managed delivery workflow, with a public archive (Museum) for access and a public validation mechanism (Verify) for third-party proof. Accessible formats include audio diplomas for Para athletes.
Go-to-market
Direct institutional sales, with the website prompting prospects to book a call and to request the IOC/WBSC sustainability study; case studies from WBSC and the Panam Sports/APC programs are used as reference proof.
International and continental sports federations, national and multi-sport event organisers, and para-sport bodies; named users include the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC), Panam Sports and the Americas Paralympic Committee (APC).
Geography
Work with an international federation (WBSC) and with continental bodies in the Americas, including events in Santiago and Asuncion; the company describes delivery across continents.
