A Coruña, June 10th 2024
The RFGF and Cinfo have announced at the “O Camiño do Futgal” congress the signing of an agreement to launch the Galician sports television during the 24-25 season.
The Galician sports television is an internet television platform that will allow all sports fans to watch their favorite local teams. This platform will be available on mobile apps, Smart TVs, Android TV and web browsers. The web version will also have the multicamera feature and tactical view for coaches.
With this agreement, 123 Galician teams, both male and female, playing in the autonomic football and futsal leagues will be available in a single platform where their fans can easily find the matches between their favorite teams. The RFGF has more than 110,000 federation cards, who will receive this service for free.
The broadcasting of the games uses an artificial intelligence system for production on the cloud, which will make it possible to stream every game, while minimizing costs but without compromising quality; as all events will have the option to include live commentary, replays, a scoreboard and all features necessary for an attractive production. The center for production and control of the project will be located at the CSA building in Ciudad de las TIC.
The leagues selected by the RFGF for the project are Galicia’s ‘preferente’ mens football league, Galicia’s 1st division women’s league, and mens and womens ‘preferente’ leagues for futsal.
This platform will be free for all fans and Galician federations, so they can broadcast their leagues and create a community around Galician sports.
The project follows a collaborative model. The clubs themselves will be able to manage their ads inventory, or even have their own announcers, on or off screen.
