Case Study

Supercopa de Espana 2025

Securing a World-Class Sporting Event with RFID-Powered Accreditation and Access Control

International Sports RFEF / Saudi Sports Auth. King Abdullah Sports City Jan 8-12, 2025

Overview

Aone delivered the full technology infrastructure for registration, accreditation, and access control operations at the Supercopa de Espana for the second consecutive year. In a sporting event broadcast to hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide, the operational standards for crowd management, zone security, and participant access are non-negotiable. Aone's RFID-powered platform ensured those standards were met across every match day.

2nd Year

Of proven Aone deployment at the Supercopa

Accreditation built around verified categories from day one

Every participant type, from players to media to VIP guests, was registered and accredited through Aone's Accreditation Management Platform before arrival, with access rights already configured by the time gates opened. This is the same category-based accreditation logic Aone applies to every multi-audience event it manages.

RFID that kept gates moving at stadium volume

On match days, RFID-enabled badges and wristbands allowed contactless verification at every entry point, even during peak crowd arrival. Aone's RFID tracking technology is built to provide real-time visibility into credential location and status, the same capability used to maintain accuracy at this scale.

Zone permissions that held under pressure

Each credential was scoped to its holder's specific access rights across concourses, pitch-side areas, and restricted zones, with no overlap between categories. This is consistent with Aone's standard zone and permission management feature, used to maintain security and full access control across any venue layout.
