The beIN SPORTS channel responds to accusations of alleged debts to UEFA

While we relayed a brief to you earlier in the evening taken from information from The Teamthe BeIN Sports channel wanted to respond to the accusations with this right of reply that we share with you: “It is not surprising to see fake news and attacks from certain tabloids every week. Some very simple facts: beIN and UEFA are currently negotiating several long-term media rights contracts; several outstanding points are currently being examined by UEFA (beIN is awaiting feedback from them); until contracts are signed, no payment is due; UEFA does not request payment under any circumstances; all this complies with industry standards; and beIN is one of the most trusted and important media groups in global sport. However, despite all this, apparently according to some, beIN is in turmoil and does not respect contracts. It seems to be the only story that sells newspapers, rather than publishing the truth..

UEFA also reacted: “BeIN has been a long-term partner of UEFA in multiple territories globally for over two decades, with exceptional broadcast experience and there are no payment issues related to Euro 2024 broadcast rights In France“, declared UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein. As a reminder, according to newspaper information The Teamthe Qatari channel has still not paid its first installment for the broadcast of Ligue 1 and has also not yet paid UEFA the amount of TV rights for Euro 2024. All of the matches, including 25 were co-broadcast with TF1 or M6, was available on the group.
