Spectatr.ai Partners with ANOC to Deliver Real-Time AI Highlights at the Islamic Solidarity Games Riyadh 2025

Spectatr.ai announced a strategic partnership with the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) and the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association (ISSA) to deliver real-time AI highlights clips during the 6th Islamic Solidarity Games (ISG), Riyadh 2025. This collaboration, aligned with the wider digital content partnership between ANOC and ISSA, will transform how the Games are experienced globally — bringing high-quality, real-time match, moment, and daily highlights from more than 20 sports over 15 days to National Olympic Committees (NOCs), and fans worldwide.

Amplifying the Islamic Solidarity Games’ Global Reach

Earlier this year, ANOC and ISSA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the global visibility of the Islamic Solidarity Games, the ISSA’s premier multi-sport event that will unite 3,500 athletes from 57 National Olympic Committees.

Under the MoU, ANOC will broadcast live events of the Games on the ANOC.TV platform, create digital content in the ANOC.tv studio, and distribute highlights through the ANOC Digital Content Hub — reaching millions of fans worldwide.

Spectatr.ai’s partnership builds upon this vision by providing the AI infrastructure behind real-time storytelling — ensuring that every emotional, decisive, and inspiring moment from Riyadh 2025 is captured, processed, and shared within seconds.

From Action to Emotion: AI-Powered Storytelling at Riyadh 2025

Under this partnership, Spectatr.ai will deploy its low-latency, on-cloud, automated highlights engine – PULSE – across all match streams to identify key moments (goals, finishes, podiums, medal-ceremonies, fight stoppages, record attempts, rallies, spikes, match points, best crowd reactions and other high-value actions) across 20+ Sports, generate short-form clips, attach rich metadata and distribute formatted assets to ANOC, ISSA and their partners in real time. The goal: make every standout athlete moment and story available to rights-holders, federations, and fans within moments of it happening — not hours or days later.

“Our collaboration with ANOC brings AI-powered storytelling to one of the world’s most unifying sporting events.” said Richa Singh, Co-Founder of Spectatr.ai. “We are honoured to contribute to this landmark global sporting event and to showcase every story, moment, and emotion as it unfolds — reaching fans across the world in real time.”

ANOC Secretary General, Mrs Gunilla Lindberg added that the collaboration is key to modernising multi-sport event coverage. “This collaboration reflects ANOC’s continued commitment to innovation and to amplifying the global reach of National Olympic Committees and their athletes. By integrating real-time AI technology into the Islamic Solidarity Games, we are enabling every inspiring performance and emotional moment from Riyadh 2025 to be shared instantly with NOC fans worldwide.”

What to expect at Riyadh 2025

Spectatr.ai’s platform will provide:

• Real-time highlight capture: Automatic detection and clipping of key plays, emotions, victory celebrations, medal ceremonies and podium moments across 20+ sports for rapid distribution.
  
• Multi-format deliverables: Ready-to-publish videos formatted for social media, and archival use — including mobile-optimized 9:16 vertical versions designed for platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
  
• Daily highlights for 57 NOCs: Curated daily highlight packages for each participating National Olympic Committee, ensuring every nation and athlete receives consistent exposure across the digital platforms.
  
• Metadata & searchability: Detailed tags (sport, athlete, team, event, timecode, context) to make content easily discoverable and reusable.
  

These services are designed to scale across all competition venues during the Games, reducing manual editing overhead while dramatically increasing the volume and speed of content available to stakeholders.

About the Islamic Solidarity Games — short history & 2025 snapshot

The Islamic Solidarity Games are a multi-sport event organised by the Islamic Solidarity Sports Association (ISSA) to strengthen bonds between the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation member states through sport. The inaugural Games took place in 2005, and the competition has grown in scope and profile across subsequent editions. The 2025 edition will be the sixth Islamic Solidarity Games and is set to take place in Riyadh from 7 to 21 November 2025, incorporating both traditional disciplines and new additions such as camel racing, duathlon and esports.

Why this matters

• Global reach, local stories: By converting key moments into ready-to-share clips, Spectatr.ai helps ensure athletes from all 57 NOCs receive immediate exposure — leveling the playing field for federations with smaller media operations.
  
• Commercial uplift: Faster and more consistent highlight delivery enhances sponsor value and creates new opportunities for short-form monetization across platforms.
  
• Operational efficiency: Automated workflows cut the time and cost associated with manual clip creation, allowing broadcast and social teams to focus on editorial storytelling rather than clip assembly.
  
• Legacy and scale: The technical and operational blueprint established in Riyadh is intended to be reusable across future ISG editions and other multi-sport events, supporting ISSA and ANOC’s long-term digital strategies.
  

Spectatr.ai’s collaboration with ANOC and ISSA at Riyadh 2025 promises to set a new standard for how regional multi-sport events deliver content to the world — faster, smarter and with richer storytelling.
