Seven expected to air FIFA Women’s World Cup next year | VinceRugari & zoesam93
Seven West Media is in the box seat to become the free-to-air home of the Matildas when they compete in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia next year.
Australians will be able to watch the Matildas on Channel Seven when they take on rivals in the FIFA World CupMultiple media sources, who spoke anonymously because the deal isn’t finalised, said Seven had emerged as the preferred bidder after Ten and Paramount failed to meet the financial expectations of Optus. If a deal is signed, Seven will simulcast all Matildas matches and the finals of the tournament.
Australia’s anti-siphoning laws require free-to-air television networks to be given the chance to bid for every match of the FIFA World Cup tournament that involves an Australian team, the finals or a tournament if it is played locally. However, the women’s FIFA World Cup tournament is not covered under these laws.
