Arkena partners with Sevilla FC for Europa Final

Arkena and Sevilla FC have announced the signature of a six-year contract. The TDF Group owned company will provide its Online Video Platform (OVP) services to one of the major clubs of La Liga, the Spanish football championship.

Sevilla FC is one of the few clubs with a fully-dedicated 24/7 TV channel, SFCTV, available both on IPTV and DTT. The live streaming of the channel is offered for free on the club’s website through the Arkena OVP. The platform will also provide on-demand content, such as interviews and other exclusive footage related to the Andalusian club, which is published on the club’s website.

“The pitch is no longer the only place where football clubs need to perform. Today, we need to engage with our fans: we need a strong team as much as a strong brand. Arkena’s OVP is a powerful tool helping us to spread Sevilla FC’s values and create awareness”, said Francisco Romera, Marketing Manager at the Spanish club.

Arkena is providing its OVP platform with a full set of features such as multiscreen players and pre-roll advertisement. The content, both live and on-demand, is available on every connected device. Sevilla FC qualified for the UEFA Europa League final, in which they face Benfica. The final takes place May 14th with SFCTV broadcasting exclusive content before and after the game, live from the Juventus Stadium.
