Since 2012, Habegger has been putting the stars of the international track and field athletics scene in the spotlight at Weltklasse Zürich as part of the Wanda Diamond League. What began with the provision of lighting and audio technology for the pole vault competition in Zurich’s main railway station has grown steadily over the years. As technical partner to the most renowned track and field athletics meet in the world, we are now responsible for the entire lighting and audio technology in the hospitality zone with the sponsors’ village, at the finals on Sechseläutenplatz and at the closing ceremony in the Letzigrund stadium. We also produce the broadcast of the UBS Kids Cup Final. The youth contest takes place two days after the Wanda Diamond League in the Letzigrund stadium.
In the hospitality area alone, we ensure the perfect light and sound conditions over a tent area of more than 5,000 m2. In the past, we have in the past created a breathtaking atmosphere at the closing ceremony with 300 WiFi-controlled battery-powered lamps or projections on special constructions. The four different events require first-class preparation and excellent cooperation between all of the partners.
