“Bringing this iconic tournament to Netflix isn’t just about streaming matches. It’s also about celebrating the players, the culture and the passion driving the global rise of women’s sport.”. Netflix will also produce a string of documentaries related to the tournaments.
In a statement, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “This is a landmark moment for sports media rights. “As a marquee brand and FIFA’s new long-term partner, Netflix has shown a very strong level of commitment to growing women’s football. This agreement sends a strong message about the real value of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the global women’s game. FIFA and Netflix partnering together makes this a truly historic day for broadcasting and for women’s football.”.
“I don’t know how this stuff works, but you gotta make sure it works,” Stern said. “You f*** up people’s football, there is hell to pay. You better not.”. Throughout the fight between retired professional boxer Tyson and YouTuber Paul, many people turned to social media to complain that they’d seen more buffering symbols on their screens than the fight itself.
