Media content rights sales: UEFA Champions League/UEFA Super Cup
Last Update: 18 December 2012
In accordance with the principles established by the European Commission, the UEFA Champions League™ (seasons 2012/2013 to 2014/2015) and UEFA Super Cup™ (2012, 2013 and 2014) media content rights sales process will be conducted by TEAM Marketing AG on behalf of UEFA on a market-by-market basis. Such process will involve an 'Invitation to Submit Offer' (ISO) inviting all qualified broadcasters to submit offers for various media content rights. Media content rights will be offered on a platform neutral basis. Such an approach will mean that successful bidders can exploit rights across all media platforms including television, Internet and mobile on a linear and on-demand basis. This platform neutral approach is aimed at ensuring maximum exposure while providing partners with programming flexibility in parallel. Qualified broadcasters only For these purposes, a 'qualified broadcaster' is a media content distribution organisation, that has (in the sole opinion of UEFA) the appropriate infrastructure, reach, resources and financial standing to distribute UEFA Champions League™ and UEFA Super Cup™ programmes in its territory. Staggered sales process The sales process will be staggered with different start and end dates per market. Once such process has started for a market, qualified broadcasters will be able to request the ISO from TEAM Marketing AG at the following e-mail address: [email protected]
