Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “We are delighted to have extended our long-standing and successful partnership with UEFA and TEAM Marketing. The UEFA Champions League is the premium club football championship and has been enormously popular with viewers over a number of years. We can now offer even more matches and even broader coverage on even more channels, as well as making this premium sports content more widely available via the internet and mobile handsets. This is a key right for our sports content offering, and demonstrates the ever increasing strength of our content and channel offering”.

David Taylor, General Secretary of UEFA, added: “MTG is a world class broadcaster with a proven track record of delivering the UEFA Champions League to football fans across Scandinavia. We are therefore very pleased to announce this deal, which will enable UEFA and MTG to continue our successful relationship for a further three seasons. The commitment that MTG has made in Denmark, Norway and Sweden will guarantee that fans in those countries will have the highest quality coverage of the greatest club football competition on the planet”.
