Internet users in 96 countries now have access to live online matches of UEFA competitions, due to the successful launching of UEFA Video Service (UVS).
UVS was developed by UEFA to enable its broadcast partners to extend their rights and provide live match coverage on the Internet.
The UEFA Video Service was developed and delivered in partnership with UEFA's technology partners, NTT Verio, DeltaTre and Entriq.
UVS is being used by over 20 broadcasters worldwide, so that every UEFA Champions League match from the 2006-07 season and every UEFA Cup match from the quarter-final stage in April 2007 is available live on the internet. As a result, more than 125 matches will be offered in over 100 countries
As well as live coverage, UVS also provides a wide-ranging archive of over 5,000 videos and 1,000 matches from UEFA competitions. Dating back over ten years, the archive features a search function that allows users to find videos by season, club or player.
Fans can access live coverage by visiting uefa.com. Based on their geographic location, users will be able to access live matches available in their area.
"The UEFA Video Service provides our broadcasting partners on an equal basis with a high quality and secure platform that can be tailor-made for individual needs and local markets," said Alexandre Fourtoy, CEO of UEFA Media Technologies SA, the service company created by UEFA to provide all technology solutions, content solutions and assistance to ensure the development of European football.
"Its successful development and implementation demonstrates UEFA's commitment to maintaining its position at the forefront of advances in the digital media sector."
The live match coverage is produced in combination with each broadcaster using UVS. The UVS can either encode the broadcaster's own live satellite feed through its infrastructure in London and Turin, or by the multilateral feed with English commentary. The feed is then delivered to a custom web interface developed for each broadcaster.
