Eurosport signs Women’s Champions League deals

Pan-European sports broadcaster Eurosport has acquired the exclusive media rights to all home games featuring German teams Vfl Wolfsburg and 1.FFC Turbine Potsdam in the 2013-14 Uefa Women’s Champions League club competition.

Eurosport can also broadcast selected away matches from both clubs and other teams, including French club Olympique Lyonnais.

Wolfsburg won the competition last season, while Turbine Potsdam was the champion in the 2009-10 campaign.

The news comes shortly after Eurosport acquired rights to the Women’s Bundesliga German football competition in a three-year deal, from 2013-14 to 2015-16.

Eurosport has broadcast every Fifa Women’s World Cup and Uefa Women’s European Championship national team tournaments since 2003. It has also broadcast the Uefa Women’s Champions League since 2011.
