On December 4, Dazn saved FIFA somewhat by buying TV rights from the next club World Cup (June 15 to July 13 in the United States), the very first at 32 teams. The international body had not reached an agreement with Apple and it was ultimately the British platform, the current broadcaster of Ligue 1, which struck a blow by offering the rights of the World Cup in full for almost a billion dollars by announcing the dissemination of meetings for free worldwide.

Since this colossal investment (visibly facilitated by the entry into Dazn's capital of the Sovereign Fund of Saudi Arabia for a billion dollars precisely), Dazn has already sold its rights to public channels in certain countries. FIFA allows it to sell the TV rights of the competition or certain matches for a clear dissemination. And that's what's going to happen in France.

As confirmed The teamit was in TF1 that Dazn granted two games of the Club World Cup, namely the entry into the running of PSG with a shock against Atlético de Madrid, on July 15 in Los Angeles (in the middle of the day in California but at 9 p.m. French hour), as well as the tournament final on July 13 (once again at 9 p.m. in France), at Metlife Stadium in the suburb of New York. “The two parties have heard themselves, but the contract is not yet signed”specifies the daily.

Dazn had the choice between TF1 and M6

M6 was also interested in the purchase of several meetings of the competition, while the channel will broadcast the final of the Champions League on May 31, with probably Christophe Dugarry as a consultant alongside Xavier Domergue.

Note that if PSG rose to the final of the Club World Cup, TF1 should certainly favor the meeting of the Luis Enrique training for obtaining an international trophy at the expense of the third game of the French women's team at the Women's Euro in Switzerland, against the Netherlands, also scheduled at 9 p.m.
