⚽️ Thmanyah Takes Over Saudi Football
Share

Hey streamers! Today, let’s talk Saudi football ⚽️👇

Two years ago, Ronaldo joined the Saudi club Al-Nassr. He might be leaving soon, but the Saudi Pro League has already changed forever.

It started with one star. Then came Benzema, Neymar, Kanté, Mané… and global TV deals followed: 170+ countries with DAZN, SonyLIV, Canal Goat, SPOTV, LA7, and more.

In MENA, SSC had the rights. Until now. The Saudi Pro League just signed a new partner: Thmanyah.

Who are they? What’s the deal? And what does it mean for SSC, Shahid, MBC Group, and for the football fans? 👇


Read on to learn about:

  1. The deal: Which competitions are included, where the rights apply, how long the deal lasts, and what kind of rights Thmanyah now owns.

  2. Thmanyah & SRMG: How a Saudi podcast company, backed by a major media group, is now stepping into live sports?

  3. So What? What this means for SSC, Shahid and MBC Group, and how it could change sports streaming across MENA.


The deal

The announcement is still fresh, and details are limited. But thanks to a trusted source, I found a visual that explains the key parameters of the deal (in Arabic only ;) ↓
