Facebook “got his nose” and football. Mark Zuckerberg's social network will broadcast for free from September via its “Livestream” Champions League matches.
This service will only be offered to Americans and is enabled thanks to the deal reached with Fox Sports Company, which owns the exclusive transmission of the most popular competition for clubs in the United States.
The idea arose after the grand finale of Cardiff between Juventus and Madrid's Real, where over 80 million people reacted through discussions, consents, and posts on this event only in the United States.
The agreement envisions a free broadcast of Facebook for all Americans two matches a day during the group phase, four in 16 and four of the following stages.
“Facebook has the largest soccer fan community and this agreement will enable the League Champions to be seen even by those who cannot see it on television.
In addition, Facebook also has agreements with MLS and Mexican league to broadcast respective championship matches in the same form.
