Man of the Match Awards for Ukrainian Premier League Round 29 — Gold Crown Design

The Man of the Match award is one of the most visible pieces of recognition in professional football. It's handed to a player in front of a stadium, broadcast on camera, photographed pitchside — and it needs to look the part in every one of those moments. For Round 29 of the Ukrainian Premier League, sponsored by Betking, we produced a full set of custom awards for every match of the round.

A gold laser-cut crown. A silver textured base with engraved dedication and sponsor branding. Individual club badges for each fixture. One award format, adapted for every game on the schedule.

Man of the Match Awards for the Ukrainian Premier League

The Ukrainian Premier League is the top tier of professional football in Ukraine. Round 29 featured multiple matches across clubs including FC Oleksandria, FC Kudrivka, FC Cherkasy, and others — each requiring an individual award that carried both the universal round designation and the specific club identifiers for that fixture.

The challenge was consistency at scale: produce a batch of identical award structures, each personalized with the two competing clubs' badges, delivered ready for ceremony presentation at every match venue.

A Crown Form Built for Football Recognition

The crown shape was the natural choice for this award — universally readable as a symbol of top performance, immediately understood in any language or football culture. The form is laser-cut from gold metallic composite with a matte textured finish that photographs cleanly under stadium lighting and doesn't produce harsh reflections on camera.

The crown sits on a silver textured base with a stepped profile — solid, stable, and wide enough to carry all the required information without crowding. The front face of the base holds a gold sublimation panel with the award dedication in Ukrainian (Кращому гравцю матчу), the round number, and the Betking sponsor logo.

Each award carries the badges of both competing clubs, applied to the crown face — making every piece specific to its fixture while keeping the overall format consistent across the round.

03 — Production Logic

One Format, Every Fixture — Consistent Quality at Scale

Producing awards for a full round of professional football matches requires a production approach that's both systematic and flexible. The base structure — crown, base, panel — is consistent across all awards. What changes per fixture is the club badge combination on the crown face.

This approach means every award in the batch is immediately recognizable as part of the same round, while each one is uniquely tied to its specific match. Players and clubs receive something that's genuinely theirs — not a generic trophy with their name added as an afterthought.

All awards in the batch were delivered finished and ready for pitchside presentation, with no on-site assembly required by the organizing team.

Ready for the Pitch. Ready for the Camera.

The completed batch covered every match of Round 29 of the Ukrainian Premier League — gold crown awards with silver bases, personalized per fixture, sponsor-branded, and delivered on time for ceremony use across all venues.
