"1+1" media group made a statement about broadcasting the matches of "Dynamo", "Dnipro-1", "Zori" and "Metalista" in the championship of Ukraine.
1+1 media supports fans and connoisseurs of Ukrainian football and will make free broadcasts of matches of Ukrainian football clubs within the Ukrainian Football Championship of the Ukrainian Premier League of the 15th season 2022/2023. In particular, in response to the clubs' official appeals, the group's resources will broadcast the games of Dynamo Kyiv, Dnipro-1, Zorya, and Metalist. 1+1 media group has valid multi-year and long-term contracts with these clubs. At the same time, this year football clubs transferred the rights to broadcast UPL matches free of charge, explaining this by the importance of taking into account the interests of all fans, the maximum distribution of football content and free access to it.
For its part, 1+1 media will provide maximum free distribution of the matches and will create additional content related to this important football event. Yes, the matches will be shown, in particular, on the 2+2 TV channel, which broadcasts digitally, which ensures wide coverage throughout Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine continues, and at this time it is important to support each other and unite. Sports and football in particular are what millions of people are focused on. The Ukrainian Football Championship is a very important event for fans and football players themselves. Therefore, we tried to unite many caring people around the UPL, thus supporting both the industry and the fans. Football clubs and 1+1 media were ready to review the terms of the contracts and find a compromise solution with UPL and Setanta Sports. Like, for example, the free broadcast of the qualifying matches of the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League with a 15-minute delay. However, the position of the UPL was categorical regarding the accumulation of all rights exclusively on the paid service.
1+1 media will cover all expenses related to the organization of television broadcasts of the matches of the mentioned clubs. The company emphasizes that nowadays it is extremely important to be as close as possible to the audience and fans. So the position of 1+1 media coincides with the position of football clubs, whose goal is to unite the maximum number of fans around football matches, giving them the opportunity to watch for free, and to increase interest in football among millions of Ukrainians around the world.
The first game that will be broadcast by 1+1 media will take place tomorrow, August 23, at 15:00 between the teams "Zorya" and "Vorskla". You can join the viewing on the 2+2 TV channel," the message says.
