Splash Mania: The EUG 2026 Mascot Taking Over Your Feeds

We’re talking about Splash, the Games’ official mascot, who’s swiftly turned into the ultimate lucky charm (and the star of hundreds of Instagram stories and reels).

How the Legend Was Born

Designed by the creative team at Activa Digital, Splash has a 100% UniSA DNA. The name wasn’t just pulled out of thin air, either: it was chosen by you, the students, through a massive vote in the run-up to the event.

After making an appearance during Le Notti Bianche and getting a proper grand debut at Piazza della Libertà for the opening ceremony, Splash’s icon status was fully cemented.

The Real Star of Salerno 2026 

Let’s be honest: we can’t get enough of it now. Whether it’s packed nights out at the FanZone or cheering from the sidelines across the sporting venues, everyone’s on the exact same mission: hunting down a selfie with Splash.

Far more than just a mascot, it’s officially become the iconic legacy of these EUSA Games!
