Cologne, 3 September 2018. After the conclusion of a framework agreement
with the Bavarian Football Association, matches from Bavaria's regional
league can now also be shown on sporttotal.tv, Germany's leading amateur
sport streaming platform. The move sees sporttotal.tv gain a strong foothold
in the fourth highest tier of German football. Dr. Rainer Koch, President of
the Bavarian Football Association, said: "sporttotal.tv is opening up new
horizons for amateur football - whether as live streaming, video on demand
or posting on social networks. The outstanding response and high viewing
figures for matches shown thus far highlight how great the appeal of amateur
football is. The streams and particularly the highlights shows are now
really popular amongst football fans. I'm delighted that so many amateur
football clubs are using sporttotal.tv's services."
sporttotal.tv strengthens its position in amateur football
With the northern, western and Bavarian regional leagues, sporttotal.tv is
now covering three of the five regional leagues. With matches from 14 senior
leagues, 16 association leagues and 26 federal state leagues as well as 23
local leagues and 7 lower federal state leagues, sporttotal.tv already
provides extensive coverage in Germany. Now sporttotal.tv has equipped over
300 amateur football clubs in the German amateur league with special camera
technology that enables football matches to be broadcast live in high
quality and completely automatically. sporttotal.tv now also features on
Amazon Fire TV. In future, sporttotal.tv will cover specially selected top
matches from over 4,000 games in the 2018/19 season with audio commentary.
In July 2017, sporttotal.tv signed a 10-year agreement with the German
Football Association to cover German amateur football in a much more
effective and professional way.
The German national volleyball league will also be streamed from October -
Germany as a reference point
Live matches from the women's and men's German national volleyball league
will also be broadcast from October. The stadiums of all 24 national league
clubs are currently being equipped with fully automated sporttotal.tv camera
technology. Matches from the women's and men's second division will also be
streamed. Gerrit Heidemann, CEO of sporttotal.tv, remarked: "We're making
great progress in Germany and are impressively showing just how much
potential lies in our platform for our internationalization strategy.
Expansion into other sports will also quickly gain momentum on this strong
basis."
