DAZN has formed a three-year agreement with Saudi-based production facilities company Alamiya Media.

Alamiya Media will provide broadcast facilities and resources for DAZN’s broadcasting of Riyadh Season events in the Middle East, supplying broadcast facilities in Saudi Arabia and as the preferred supplier in other Gulf Cooperation Council countries where DAZN is host broadcaster or rights-holding broadcaster of Riyadh Season events.

Pete Oliver, CEO of DAZN’s Growth Markets, said: “Alamiya delivers a fantastic and reliable service, enabling us to produce and broadcast Riyadh Season’s world-class sporting events to fans around the world. We look forward to many more years of this game-changing partnership.”

Sultan Al Muheisen, Chairman & CEO, Alamiya Media, added: “In a short time the Middle East, led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has leaped to the forefront of becoming the house of some of the biggest and renowned sporting events globally.

“The combination of Alamiya’s production facilities with DAZN’s host broadcasting capabilities and expertise, will ensure exciting sports content for existing fans and new audiences.”

DAZN is the official exclusive worldwide and co-exclusive Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region broadcaster of all Riyadh Season sports and entertainment events, as part of a multi-year partnership.
