===Sports===
On 21 May 2007, during a meeting between the 2009 Games Organizing Committee ({{langx|pt|Comité Organizador dos Jogos da Lusofonia 2009}}, COJOL) and the [[ACOLOP]] (''Associação dos Comités de Língua Oficial Portuguesa'', {{langx|en|Association of the Portuguese-Speaking Committees}}), a decision on which should be the ninth sport to be included in the competition program—out of a list that included [[badminton]], [[canoeing]], [[judo]], [[Swimming (sport)|swimming]], and [[roller hockey]] — was delayed due to insufficient survey data from some of the ACOLOP member committees.<ref name="New sport decision">{{cite news |url=http://www.rtp.pt/index.php?article=282597&visual=16 |title=Jogos Lusofonia – Organização de Lisboa2009 adia decisão sobre a modalide a incluir no programa |author=Agência Lusa |publisher=[[Rádio e Televisão de Portugal|RTP]] |date=21 May 2007 |accessdate=21 May 2007 |language=Portuguese |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924114503/http://www.rtp.pt/index.php?article=282597&visual=16 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=dead  }}</ref> Later that year, on 12 November the ACOLOP general assembly, gathered in Lisbon, finally decided to add judo to the official program.<ref name="Lisbon 2009"/>

===Symbols===
The image and identity of the Lisbon 2009 Lusophony Games were conveyed by its official logo and mascot.
The logo represents an "athlete, celebrating victory with a multicoloured ribbon, following the motto 'Union stronger than Victory', in an appeal to fair-play and unity between the athletes".<ref name="logo">{{cite web |url=http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=67 |title=Logo |publisher=Organizing Committee for the 2009 Lusophone Games (COJOL) |accessdate=31 October 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080803120459/http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=67 |archivedate=3 August 2008 |url-status=dead  }}</ref>
The mascot, representing a youthful humanized flame, is called "Xama" (after "''chama''", "flame" in English) and embodies the spirit of sport, the athlete's desire to surpass own limits, the "energy and vivacity" that give "body and soul in every heat".<ref name="mascot">{{cite web|url=http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid=440 |title=Mascot |publisher=Organizing Committee for the 2009 Lusophone Games (COJOL) |accessdate=31 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090624054002/http://www.lisboa2009.org/Default.aspx?tabid%3D440 |archivedate=24 June 2009 }}</ref>
