Football, it's in our DNA
AMP VISUAL TV is the broadcaster for French football. Besides the daily coverage of the of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships, we deal with the French national team's matches for TF1 and, in August, we caught up with Lyon, Nice and Saint Etienne, broadcast from the Champion's League or Europa League on beIN SPORTS. If football is France's favourite sport, for our teams it is the essential point of contact.
38 days of championships, 40 stadiums, 40 matches each weekend: the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 season is full and intense.
Thanks to our brand new ICAR, we are carrying out the filming of 7 matches of the Ligue 2 championship by live link-up, with multi-camera coverage of the Friday night headline match and Saturday premium match. Both will then be broadcast by beIN SPORT. On the Monday, we are filming the match broadcast by Eurosport France. The latter is also entrusting us with all of the First Division women's matches it will be broadcasting.
Also for beIN SPORT, we're travelling all over France every weekend to meet the teams playing in Ligue 1. From Paris to Lyon, via Toulouse, Lorient and Lille, we will be setting up in some 13 stadiums, for which one of our OB vans will be deployed for home matches. We're also taking on the filming of all Friday night headline matches.
And, as football is a global sport, we will be present for international matches. As such, we are covering all French national team matches on French soil for TF1. In addition, we are dealing with the graphics for some Champion's League and Europa League matches for certain foreign channels, such as Sky and TVE.
Football: a sport that evokes passion, unites nations, and makes our television programmes.
