The agency has entered the deal to exploit their properties via JumpTV.com and its dedicated Hispanic sports portal SportsYa.com.
For approximately half of the matches JumpTV is the exclusive marketing partner for internet broadcasting.
Said Robert Muller von Vultejus, executive vice president of the Sportfive Group: “We decided very early to exploit the Euro2008 qualifier matches on the iInternet and it was apparent that we needed a top-shelf internet-broadcast partner.
“JumpTV has a widely recognised leadership position in the international internet-television marketplace, and we are confident they will enable us to tap into a large global audience for these events.”
Added Mark David, managing director of JumpTV International: “JumpTV is focused on securing the IPTV rights to the most compelling television content for our target expat audience. Euro2008 qualifier matches will be among the most watched sporting events of the year, and we are thrilled to bring these exciting games to a global internet-television audience.”
Subscribers will be able to buy each game live on a pay-per-view basis. The Euro 2008 qualifier matches will begin streaming through JumpTV and SportsYa portals in March, 2007.
