European Ultimate Federation (EUF) and Solidsport are delighted to announce a long term broadcasting partnership with the aim of revolutionising the broadcast and digital content landscape for EUF events.

The European Ultimate Federation (EUF) is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking broadcasting partnership with Solidsport for a multi-year period. After an extensive open tender process, Solidsport emerged as the official broadcasting partner for the EUF, ushering in a new era of innovation and accessibility for European Ultimate tournaments.

Known for its expertise in supporting emerging sports communities, Solidsport is set to revolutionize the broadcast and digital content landscape for EUF events.

Leveraging Solidsport's extensive network, the EUF seeks to establish a financially sustainable ecosystem and widen its reach to diverse audiences, ensuring that events become more accessible and cost-effective.

This collaboration with Solidsport allows us to provide our players with more affordable and accessible tournaments while ensuring top-notch live and on-demand content. The new model will spread broadcast production costs across our entire community, making it a cost-effective solution for everyone in the long run. We acknowledge that this is a new direction for many, including us, but we are eager to test this model for the benefit of our sport."

Solidsport will power a new and custom OTT platform on live.ultimatefederation.eu that will aim to gather all EUF’s international events and engage the whole European Ultimate community.
