Designed to showcase students’ strategic thinking, analytical skills, and teamwork, this year’s Deloitte Club USHINE Case Competition challenged teams to develop a five-year market-entry strategy for European football clubs through the integration of AI-powered sports analytics platforms.

Outperforming more than 200 teams, our two undergraduate teams swept the competition’s top honors, winning the Champion Award, the First Runner-up Award, and the Best Presenter Award. Congratulations are also extended to other HKUST finalists for their outstanding performance and strong demonstration of strategic thinking and business acumen throughout the competition.
