Solidsport and Spiideo partner to automatically broadcast all matches in Germany’s Regionalliga Nord
Spiideo and OTT platform Solidsport have joined forces to launch a streaming experience for the semi-professional football league, Regionalliga Nord, in Germany.
Orchestrated by the North German Football Association (NFV) and in tandem with the 18 clubs of the Regionalliga Nord, Spiideo and Solidsport have united to facilitate an immersive viewing journey, making all 306 Regionalliga Nord matches available for fans.
As a leading OTT and online-video-platform in Europe, Solidsport will serve as the exclusive provider of nordfv.tv. This strategic alignment empowers football enthusiasts with real-time and on-demand access to all games, complemented by a spectrum of supplementary news and content encompassing the Regionalliga Nord.
“Our mission is to deliver an unparalleled sports streaming experience, enriching the connection between fans and the game they love. Partnering with NFV and Spiideo underscores our commitment to innovation, and together, we are redefining the way football is experienced,” said Andreas Westerlind, chief commercial officer at Solidsport.
Spiideo will provide the infrastructure and technology for the automatic production and capture of every match.
“We are thrilled to be supporting the NFV in enabling its clubs to better connect with their fans. Our innovative video production technologies not only enable them to live stream all Regionaliga Nord matches to fans across Germany, but also helps to attract new sponsorship opportunities through our in-feed commercialisation capabilities,” said Ian Wray, senior media partnerships director, Spiideo. “The quality of play across the league deserved a quality solution to deliver content to fans, so our partnership with Solidsport’s OTT was a perfect match to create the whole fan experience.”
The collaboration between Solidsport and Spiideo presents NFV and Regionalliga Nord with an innovative streaming solution. With 24 matches already showcased on nordfv.tv this season, the results have been overwhelmingly positive. Drawing an audience of over 44,000 unique viewers, these matches have collectively amassed more than 24,000 hours of football consumption.
“We’re embarking on a transformative journey with Solidsport and Spiideo to bring an unparalleled unique football viewing experience to fans worldwide. This partnership not only elevates the way we engage with the game but also presents promising avenues for commercial growth. The future of football streaming has arrived,” said Ralph-Uwe Schaffert, president, NFV.
The collaboration between Spiideo and Solidsport doesn’t just enhance the viewer experience, it also opens up exciting commercial possibilities for the league. With Spiideo’s production technology and Solidsport’s OTT platform, the Regionalliga Nord is poised to attract sponsors and advertisers keen to tap into a highly engaged and expansive fan base.
