South American Games 2026: The Technology Powering a Multi-Sport Event

For 15 days at Santa Fe 2026, data will compete alongside athletes. Coordinating people, processes and technology across Argentina together with Bornan Sports Technology.

When spectators watch a final, a sprint, or a finish line moment, everything seems simple: a stopwatch, a scoreboard, and a result. But behind the scenes of the XIII South American Games Santa Fe 2026, the reality is far more complex.

From September 12 to 26, the cities of Santa Fe, Rosario, and Rafaela will host the 2026 South American Games, welcoming more than 4,000 athletes from 15 countries. Competitors will take part in 43 sports and 60 disciplines, making it the most significant sporting event in the province’s history.

For 15 days, thousands of accreditations, multiple sports taking place simultaneously, and audiences connected from across the region will make Santa Fe 2026 one of the most demanding events from both an operational and technological perspective.

And to ensure the Games run seamlessly, there is one essential element that will never step onto the podium: technology.

This is where Bornan Sports Technology comes in as the Information Technology Partner of the XIII South American Games Santa Fe 2026. Not as a standalone supplier, but as the organization responsible for integrating and unifying the systems that enable information to flow smoothly throughout the entire event, from start to finish.

Services Delivered by Bornan During Santa Fe 2026

At the heart of the event, the Games Results Systems (GRS) manage timing, scoring, and rankings in real time. This ensures that every result generated on the field of play is accurately synchronized and delivered to broadcasters, digital platforms, and the official Games records.

While spectators enjoy the competition, a vast operational ecosystem continues to run behind the scenes. Athletes, accreditations, venue access, registrations, and teams all move in a coordinated manner. These day-to-day operations are managed through our Games Management System (GMS), ensuring continuity, efficiency, and control throughout the event.

And Santa Fe 2026 does not end with the final whistle. Data, content, and key moments continue to create value long after the competition is over. Through digital services such as historical results, OTT platforms, Content Hub, widgets, Single Sign-On (SSO), online stores, websites, and virtual assistants, Bornan extends the digital experience of the Games before, during, and after the event.

If Nobody Notices the Technology, It Means It Is Working

That is the true measure of success for an event like Santa Fe 2026: all attention remains focused on sport, while a robust, reliable, and seamless technology layer quietly supports every operation behind the scenes.

In this context, we greatly value the trust placed in us by ODESUR and the Organizing Committee, and we look forward to continuing to support the successful delivery of the Games.
