🎥 Unusual: French streamer snaps up Saudi Pro League TV rights | OneFootball

Zack Nani may have sensed a good opportunity.

On Friday night, the French streamer announced that he had obtained broadcasting rights for certain matches of the Saudi league on his YouTube and Twitch channels.

Interviewed by L'Équipe, Zack Nani promises free broadcasting starting August 19: "I have the right to broadcast up to three matches per week, the best of each day, with the obligation to show at least one."

Zack Nani shared the details of this unexpected deal: "I always wanted to have the means to broadcast football legally. (...) I had sent emails to foreign federations and leagues not broadcast in France but never received a clear response. It was on my mind but I could never make it happen."

He details the financial parameters of this operation: "These are rights that I personally purchase and not through an investor or another company. It's the biggest investment made with my company that produces all my shows and YouTube videos. An amount beyond six figures for a season and a second one as an option. It's an exclusivity on the free part so a paid channel can technically still acquire the rights in France."

As a reminder, the Canal group did not renew its TV rights for the Saudi Pro League and other broadcasters were not rushing to acquire them. A great opportunity for Zack Nani.
