The matches of the "Rukh" football club within the UPL will be broadcast by the resources of the 1+1 media group
In order to support the fans and provide the widest possible free access to the matches of FC "Rukh", the management of the club turned to 1+1 media and transferred to the media group the rights to film and broadcast matches within the framework of the Ukrainian Football Championship of the Ukrainian Premier League of the 15th season of 2022 /2023.
"Our mission as a football club is to unite fans and provide the widest possible access to matches within the UPL. This is an important football event that always attracts a lot of attention. Therefore, in such an extremely difficult time, when the war with the Russian Federation continues, it is important to provide viewers with free access to viewing the event. We emphasize that none of the rights mentioned by UPL were transferred to UPL, accordingly, no so-called single telepool exists. Therefore, we ask you to stop speculating on this topic and free the teams and, in fact, the viewers, from incomprehensible clarifications of relationships that lead to disruptions in the broadcast of matches," FC Rukh commented.
For its part, 1+1 media will broadcast the matches on the publicly available national TV channels 2+2 and UNIAN - which channel will broadcast a specific match will be announced the day before. The matches will also be shown on the YouTube channels of the 1+1 media sports projects - FootballHub and "Profutbol Digital".
Users of the online television platform Kyivstar TV, which is a joint project of Kyivstar and 1+1 media, will be able to watch broadcasts of matches for free on the 2+2, UNIAN, and FC RUH TV channels.
"1+1 media has been a television partner of FC Rukh for a very long time and will provide television broadcast of matches at the club's request. We are always in favor of constructive dialogue and joint efforts that concern the interests of viewers and fans. It is a pity that such a position does not come from the UPL, which, without the consent of the football clubs, prematurely announced the creation of the so-called single telepool of broadcasters. In this case, we support the clubs that own the broadcasting rights and have expressed a desire to unite the maximum number of people around the matches ," 1+1 media commented.
FC Rukh's next home match in the UPL will take place on Friday, September 2, against FC Shakhtar. Venues that will broadcast the game will be announced later.
We will remind you that earlier 1+1 media agreed to the proposals of FC Dynamo Kyiv, Dnipro-1, Zorya, and Metalist regarding the free broadcast of their matches on its resources. Thus, 5 out of 16 Ukrainian football clubs of the Championship will be broadcast on the sites of the media group.
