FIFA, the global governing body of world football, announced today that it will launch its own broadcasting service and that the new platform to be established called FIFA Plus will include original series and documentary content as well as women’s and men’s football matches.
Hard move from Electronic Arts: There is news that will upset FIFA players!
A sad development has emerged for FIFA 22 players. FIFA lovers will think twice with Electronic Arts’ move.
FIFA Plus, which will broadcast 1400 matches per month, will be free and with ads!
Launched as FIFA Plus or FIFA+, the new platform says it will broadcast more than 1,400 women’s and men’s football matches every month. There will also be documentaries and original series about Ronaldinho, Dani Alves and Lucy Bronze.
According to the shared, FIFA + will offer advertisements in a YouTube-like manner and will not charge any fee from the viewers. However, as a disadvantage of being free, it will not be able to receive the broadcasting rights of major leagues such as Spain and England. Even for the broadcasting rights of the Premier League alone, a fee of £ 5.1 billion, that is, $ 6.6 billion, is demanded.
However, thanks to the number of users and views it will reach in the coming years, and with the possible paid packages it will offer, it may turn into a brand new platform that we hope will be included in the Super League. In fact, according to the claims of many in the sector, it can gather all leagues and matches under one roof before the 2030s.
However, although it is the global governing body of world football, it cannot offer a guarantee that such a situation will occur, as it will have the same voice with its rivals. In other words, many platforms from Exxen to Netflix can get the broadcast rights themselves by giving more than FIFA’s offer.
Of course, on the other hand, football clubs are also planning to earn additional income thanks to this new door opened with FIFA +. Because, thanks to the summaries, old matches or documentaries and advertisements to be broadcast here, the clubs will receive royalties. In this way, they may not have to try to pay off their debts by selling NFTs or coins.
On the other hand, in a statement made by Premier League representatives in 2020, it was said that they could establish their own platforms. In this case, it seems likely that they will abandon this idea and shift to FIFA Plus in the near future.
Of course, this could happen, provided they receive their £5 billion payment. A similar situation will also apply to the Super League. Because TFF said that when it did not receive the broadcast fee offer it expected, it could establish its own platform – TV channel. Therefore, he will look very warmly to FIFA +.
