Uefa plays live on the Internet

The Union of European Football Association Uefa has created a Uefa Video Service UVS. This enables internet users in 96 countries to watch matches from Uefa matches live on the internet. UVS was developed by Uefa to enable partners to extend their rights and broadcast matches live on the Internet. More than 20 broadcasters worldwide will be able to offer every Uefa Champions League 2006/07 match and every Uefa Cup match live on the Internet from the quarter-finals in April 2007. In addition to the live broadcasts, UVS also offers a comprehensive archive with matches from over ten years. Fans can watch the live broadcasts for an annual fee of around 40 euros or pay for individual matches. Depending on their geographical location, users are offered the live matches that are available in their area.
