Broadcasting tender crisis in the Süper Lig! Claims that 'beIN Sports has walked away from the table'

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) announced in a statement in November that the Broadcasting Tender Commission, which was formed within the scope of the broadcasting tender and includes representatives from the Union of Clubs, had begun work for the new tender.

Broadcasting revenues in the Süper Lig have remained 7 times lower than the average of Europe's top 10 leagues. The broadcaster's reluctance to pay more money has also directly affected the clubs.

The average time the ball remained in play in the Süper Lig was between 55 and 56 percent. The decline in this average this season and the widening gap between the four major teams and the other clubs have affected broadcasting revenues.

WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE TENDER NEXT YEAR

While the Broadcasting Tender Commission announced by the TFF continues its work, it has been claimed that the broadcaster beIN Sports will not participate in the tender for the new season because it cannot earn the money it wants from the Süper Lig. The company, which finds even the money it currently pays to the teams to be too much, has notified the TFF of this situation and walked away from the table. It is not yet known who will broadcast the matches.
