Laurent Nicollin's observation on DAZN

Last July, DAZN has seized the broadcasting rights for eight of the nine Ligue 1 matches (the 9th being for BeIN Sports). But since the start of the season, the British platform has had difficulty convincing followers of the French championship to subscribe. Some people particularly favor the illegal option of IPTV. Guest of Super Moscato Show on RMCthis Friday, Laurent Nicollin gave his impression on the visibility of French football. “ Of course it's not easy when things are not seen. But there is a lot of IPTV, so it proves that people are watching. The State must fight IPTV, and then we will see if beIN and DAZN are watched more. There's always the risk when you go on a private channel of being seen less. By no longer being on Canal+, you certainly have less visibility. There are people, more intelligent than me, who think better about this and who must have studied the question, believing that it was good for French football. »

The president of Montpellier also raised the possibility that the contract with DAZN stops early. According to him, all scenarios must be discussed. “ If there are subscribers, so much the better. If there is none, we will have to think about reviewing our way of showing French football to people. Will the league have to create its own channel? These are things that will have to be discussed in the months to come. »
