On Tuesday, the call for tenders from the Professional Football League (LFP) for TV rights to Ligue 1 over the period 2024-2029 did not have the desired effect. As we mentioned recently, none of the lots found a buyer as the main broadcasters, such as bein Sports And Amazon, were cooled by the requirements imposed by the LFP. Result, DAZN could quickly jump at the opportunity. Despite everything, the sports streaming service is not unanimous, the fault of significant losses suffered since its creation in 2016.
Present at the Sportel Awards in Monaco, Javier Tebas stepped up to defend the British company. “We are very happy with this collaboration. They understand our wishes very well and value the viewer’s experience… They have no problem with payment. I have been asked this question thousands of times. They pay exactly what they owe. And it’s a company that not only pays its bills, but also has a very clear medium-term strategy. For French football, it is good news that DAZN is interested in Ligue 1., said the football boss of Spanish football. As a reminder, DAZN currently broadcasts five matches per day of the Spanish championship.
