At a time when Brazil and many other countries around the world are facing challenging times due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Brazilian Football fans around the world were given a great boost this past weekend with the return of Brasileirão Série A and Série B to screens at home and around the world.
GSRM, the Latin-American based group which includes Fanatiz, 1190 Sports and investment firm 777, was announced as the global international media rights agency for Brazil’s Série A and Série B competitions. GSRM’s main objective will be to increase the visibility and interest of consumers from all over the world in Brazilian football through the distribution of matches on TV, Cable TV, Pay Per View and Streaming. In addition to the direct sale of broadcasting rights to other television channels, GSRM will also create an OTT streaming platform to showcase all matches of the Brasileirão Série A and Série B, through monthly subscriptions, which can be accessed worldwide, except for the Brazilian territory.
The idea is to export Brasileirão’s image through direct sales to consumers, and also to explore opportunities such as sponsorships for the Brazilian football product, the creation of branded content and virtual advertising during broadcasts, among many other possibilities to generate earnings for clubs.
“The main focus of our work is to increase the visibility of Brasileirão Series A and B championships abroad and to take it to a higher level of international exposure. Today there is already a great interest, not attended, for Brazilian football in markets in Asia, Latin America, North America and Europe”, explains Hernan Donnari, CEO of GSRM.
“The Brasileirão Série A is one of the top ten leagues in the world and the country is the number one exporter of players on the planet, something that in itself already generates great attraction and makes other regions turn their eyes to the football played in the Country”, Donnari added.
