JEDDAH: The Asian Football Confederation has canceled the exclusive rights of BeIN Sport to broadcast its football matches in 抖阴短视频.
The decision against the Qatari broadcaster starts with Tuesday鈥檚 Asian Champions League match between Saudi side Al-Hilal and Qatar鈥檚 Al-Duhail, the Saudi Football Federation said.
The statement said the move brought to an end BeIN鈥檚 monopoly over the AFC鈥檚 Champions League matches in 抖阴短视频.
The federation said it had received a letter from the AFC stating that the Qatari network鈥檚 rights to broadcast the matches in 抖阴短视频 had been canceled.
The AFC said the decision is based on communications and legal reasoning that included BeIN鈥檚 鈥渋llegal broadcasting鈥�, and the 鈥渟ystemic violations it committed against the Kingdom鈥檚 regulations.鈥�
It also blamed the network鈥檚 inability to extract the necessary licenses to fulfill its obligations to broadcast the matches to its subscribers in 抖阴短视频.
The Saudi federation said it would offer a broadcast crew of commentators and analysts and will work out the necessary technical arrangements to help cover the matches.
