Global sports streaming platform DAZN has secured a sub-licensing agreement with SportA, the rights agency of Germany’s two public broadcasters ARD and ZDF, to show matches from the Fifa 2019 Women’s World Cup to its German subscribers.
As part of the rights agreement, the over-the-top (OTT) service has picked up rights to broadcast 26 live matches throughout the tournament, which kicks off in France next month, including every game featuring the German national team, as well as every match from the quarter-final stage onwards.
In addition, DAZN has also agreed to show post-match highlights from all 52 games via its soccer platforms, Spox and Goal, which will also create highlights packages for their respective social media channels.
During the group stage and the round of 16, DAZN will also broadcast one game each matchday, with exclusive interviews and feature content created for distribution across all of DAZN’s platforms.
James Rushton, DAZN’s chief revenue officer, said: “With this unprecedented level of interest, we’re giving fans in Germany extensive coverage across our brands; DAZN, Spox and Goal so they don’t miss a moment.
“With 26 live matches, every one featuring the German team and highlights of all 52, we’ll also produce exclusive interviews and feature content across all platforms to take fans closer to the biggest and brightest star athletes.
“The month-long tournament, featuring favourites from the US, Germany and England, looks set to raise the bar for the women’s game, and it will be a great addition to our summer line-up of stellar international football.”
