Brilianto, the fine jewellery firm specialising in diamonds with soul of unique origin, shone brightly at the 77th edition of the Mundo Deportivo Grand Gala. As one of the event's sponsors, Brilianto had a prominent presence on this emblematic night for Spanish sport and exhibited an exceptional piece: the 125th Anniversary Riviere Necklace from the 125th Anniversary Diamond Collection of FC Barcelona.
The Mundo Deportivo Grand Gala: an iconic event
The Mundo Deportivo Grand Gala is Europe's longest-running sports gala. In its 77th edition, held on 3 February at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya, it brought together major figures from the world of sport and celebrated the most outstanding moments of 2024.
An event with major sponsors
The event was backed by 14 leading brands. CaixaBank was platinum sponsor, while Movistar and Repsol participated as gold sponsors.
Brilianto shared the spotlight with brands including Allianz Seguros e Inversiones, Clubs DiR, Coca-Cola, Cupra, DAZN, El Corte Inglés, Fira de Barcelona, Iberia, PortAventura World and Renfe.
Brilianto, a sponsor with its own sparkle
For Brilianto, supporting an event of this calibre was a strategic decision that made perfect sense. The brand, a leader in transforming sports licensing, has taken fine jewellery to a new level by fusing it with the identity of legendary clubs. Its presence at the gala reaffirmed its commitment to exclusivity and innovation. Its CEO, Santiago Bach, presented the Brilianto Trophy to the Spanish women's water polo team.

On 10 August 2024, the Spanish women's water polo team reached the pinnacle of sport by winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympic Games. After 12 years of effort and two Olympic silvers in London 2012 and Tokyo 2020, the team led by Miki Oca achieved their long-awaited goal by defeating Australia in a historic final. This triumph enriched the achievements of Spanish water polo and will serve as inspiration for future generations of athletes.
