Overview

School football, built with professional standards.

Alpha League is a national tournament created to turn school football into a professional-level experience. Built in collaboration with Serie A and powered by Connected, the project combines competitive football, live events, streaming, and media production into one national ecosystem. The goal was simple: make young players feel part of something bigger, more credible, and more structured than a typical school tournament.

The Challenges

Bridging two different worlds.

The challenge was finding the right balance between two very different worlds: the premium identity of professional football and the raw energy of younger generations. The brand needed to feel official and authoritative, while still staying fast, emotional, and culturally relevant for students.

The Solution

Built to feel professional. Designed to stay young.

The identity system was built around bold typography, electric blue tones, and structured layouts inspired by professional sports broadcasting. Every visual element was designed to feel recognizable, scalable, and media-ready across social posts, match graphics, streaming content, and live events. The result is a brand that feels serious enough for institutional partners, while still speaking the language of youth football.
