UEFA awards football rights in Germany and Azerbaijan

UEFA, the European football body, has awarded some  Europa League rights in Germany to ProSiebenSat1.

The commercial broadcaster has been granted the right to broadcast the best live Europa League match each match week, as well as a weekly highlights programme. The programming will be broadcast each match week on free-to-air channel Kabel 1.

All rights have been granted on a platform-neutral basis with the rights being exploited on television, the internet, as well as on mobile.

UEFA has also awarded all free-to-air 2012-15 Europa League media rights in Azerbaijan to public broadcaster AZTV.
Each match night, one live match will be broadcast on the channel AZTV. In addition one live match per kick-off slot, followed by a highlights programme, will be shown each match night on channel Idman Azerbaijan.

UEFA has awarded multiplatform rights, meaning AZTV can offer coverage via internet and mobile platforms.
