THE HYUNDAI A-League 2010 Grand Final will be broadcast live across Asia, the Middle East, the UK and Ireland, Africa, and North America, the FFA announced today.
Season 5 of the Hyundai A-League has seen coverage increase significantly with live matches and highlights packages gaining widespread distribution across the globe.
While Fox Sports and Sky Sports cover Australia and New Zealand, the FFA has negotiated for both live matches and highlights packages to be broadcast worldwide.
In the Pacific territories, matches are shown through the Oceania Football Confederation TV sub-license rights holders.
In North America, Africa and the Middle East, games can be seen via Fox International and BskyB in the UK and Ireland.
And in Asian territories, the A-League plays out on on the Football Asia programme produced by World Sports Group and via i-Cable to Hong Kong and Pan Asia.
"The A-League 2010 Grand Final has the potential to reach 79 million households across the globe through the affiliated networks we have negotiated broadcast deals with," said A-League chief, Archie Fraser.
"Football is the world game and for the Hyundai A-League to get this kind of exposure is further proof of the growth and development of our game.
"On a local basis alone, the television audience that witnessed the Sydney FC v Melbourne Victory semi-final second leg at the SFS reached an average TV audience of 177,000 in Australia alone.
"In only five years we have established ourselves in the fabric of the world sporting culture - the popularity of the Hyundai A-League both in Australia and abroad are key to the success of the competition.
"This will be the biggest match of the season and for it to be telecast to such a vast audience is another big step in the progression of football in Australia."
