The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has banned individual club streaming and launched a new broadcast streaming deal with Propel Sports Africa.
The new deal, which was announced by NPFL Chairman Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye on Tuesday, will see Propel Sports Africa deploy cameras to ten NPFL venues as a start-up. The company will then stream all matches played at these venues live on its website and app.
Elegbeleye said that the ban on individual club streaming was necessary to ensure that all NPFL matches are available to fans to watch. He also said that the new deal with Propel Sports Africa would provide clubs with valuable data about their players.
“It gladdens my heart to again harp on the Broadcast Streaming deal with Propel Sports Africa which has as today, deployed cameras to ten venues as start-up,” Elegbeleye said. “Firstly is that all individual club streaming activity is no longer allowed as clubs will be offered the data of all their matches including individual analytics for each player.”
The data that will be provided to clubs includes information on player performance, such as passing accuracy, shots on goal, and tackles made. This data will help clubs to improve their training and recruitment practices.
The new broadcast streaming deal is a major step forward for the NPFL. It will help to raise the profile of the league and make it more accessible to fans. It will also provide clubs with valuable data that they can use to improve their performance.
Propel Sports Africa is a leading sports technology company that provides live streaming, data analytics, and other services to sports organizations around the world. The company has a strong track record of success in the African market, and it is well-positioned to help the NPFL grow and improve.
The new broadcast streaming deal is a positive development for the NPFL. It is a sign that the league is committed to improving its operations and providing fans with a better experience. The deal is also a major coup for Propel Sports Africa, which is now the exclusive broadcast partner of the NPFL.
