Olympic spirit, brotherhood between nations and passion for sport: Andorra hosted the Games of the Small States of Europe for the third time in its history. This international competition, created as an alternative for European countries with less than one million inhabitants, saw the participation of 1,151 athletes from Malta, Cyprus, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino and Andorra. The Principality relied on Mondo to equip several facilities, such as the El Pas de La Casa Sports Centre, the Joan Alay Pavilion and the Ordino Sports Centre pitch. These facilities joined others that already bore the Mondo brand.
Located at over 2,000 metres above sea level, in the parish of Encamp, this pavilion has been a sports reference point for the Principality, hosting sports federations and clubs during training for world and Olympic championships. The pitch was equipped with Mondoelastic sports flooring with a beech wood finish, an ideal solution for high-level competitions. The Area Elastic system, certified Level 1 FIBA and FIFA FUTSAL Quality, is composed of two layers of phenolic plywood with a wooden surface treated with high-resistance varnish. The Air Cell supports ensured excellent shock absorption.
This facility hosted the rugby sevens matches of the XX Games and was equipped by Mondo with new equipment, including a large 14 m² LED screen, installed on a dedicated structure and managed with wireless HDMI kit and scaler. The display, with P10 resolution and high brightness, offered versatility as a scoreboard, advertising screen or multimedia display. In addition, a grandstand with black Mondoseat seats for 6 was installed, bringing the capacity to 249 spectators. The stands, arranged in eight rows, had three internal access areas. The seats, ergonomic and without metal inserts, were designed to offer maximum comfort.
Mondo Smart Systems technology also arrived at the Joan Alay Pavilion, with a 10 m² LED scoreboard certified to FIBA Level 2 and baskets equipped with possession indicators and illuminated frames.The pavilion hosted soccer, basketball, volleyball, mini-basketball and handball.
Adjacent to the Toni Martí Pavilion, where the basketball games were played and where Morabanc Andorra competes, the Andorra Sports Centre was equipped with two 12 m² LED screens, one 2 m² and Mondo baskets. The Mondovideo Pro software was updated here. The Estadi Nacional d’Andorra, a few steps away, was also equipped with a 14 m² LED screen in 2022, while the Estadi Comunal Joan Samarra Vila has had a Mondo screen since 2013. Mondo equipment for athletics was used, including an ultrasonic anemometer that expanded the video finish system.
Andorra hosted the Games for the third time, after the 1991 and 2005 editions. The 2025 edition, which ran until May 31, featured 19 disciplines, including athletics, basketball, volleyball, tennis, 3x3 basketball and rugby sevens. The opening ceremony was held on May 26 at the National Stadium of Andorra la Vella.
The Games were born to respond to the difficulties of countries with less than one million inhabitants in participating in the Olympics. The idea took shape in 1981 and received official approval in 1984. The first edition was held in San Marino in 1985. Over the years, the Games have included many sports disciplines and have established themselves as a key event to promote cooperation, the visibility of athletes and the Olympic values of equality and inclusion.
