Then he explained, “Only for the correction, I was informed now from the administration that the 60 matches on the open channel are only for the cup matches, not the league, and there are efforts to bring the channel closer to obtaining the right to a match on the open channel in the league. I apologize again with the promise of watching coverage that definitely lives up to your football taste.”

According to a statement by the Emirati network, the matches will be broadcast on Abu Dhabi sports channels and the STARZPLAY application.
According to the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office, STARZPLAY’s access to more than 2.1 million subscribers in the region will give Italian Serie A clubs access to a wide audience, which will support their brands within a region of more than 400 million people.
This joint deal is evidence of the fruitful partnership between Abu Dhabi Media and STARZPLAY, where the two sides were keen to enhance their cooperation to enrich their sports portfolio for the region’s fans, which includes (the Asian Football Confederation Championships, the Mixed Fighting Championship, and the FIFA Club World Cup).
