Eurosport France, the French arm of pan-regional broadcaster Eurosport, has acquired exclusive live rights to all matches involving French football club Olympique Lyonnais in the 2012-13 Uefa women’s Champions League.
Eurosport will follow the progress of Olympique Lyonnais as they seek to win the Champions League for the third year in a row.
The deal expands the basic-tier sports broadcaster’s existing coverage of women’s football in France, where it currently holds the rights to the D1 Féminine, the top-tier domestic league, and the Coupe de France Féminine, the domestic cup competition.
