Following a successful streaming of the quarter-finals, WAVES OTT is further cementing its position as India's leading destination for world-class football action. This move offers fans a front-row seat to the excitement of Germany’s top knockout tournament, thereby enhancing their viewing experience.
Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO of Prasar Bharati, said:
“This partnership with DFB not only brings top-tier football action to Indian audiences but also opens doors for our young footballers to gain international exposure. By integrating high-quality content with grassroots development, we are fostering a stronger football culture in India and providing our youth with unprecedented global opportunities.”
Strengthening Indo-German football ties
In a significant development that strengthens Indo-German football ties, a landmark letter of exchange was signed between DFB and Prasar Bharati. This collaboration ensures broader access to elite football content in India, thus expanding the reach of international sports within the country.
The collaboration between DFB and Prasar Bharati also paves way for an exciting initiative - an India-wide Under-17 talent search tournament. This initiative aims at identifying promising young players across the nation who will be given an exclusive training opportunity. A total of 20 talented youngsters will be selected through this process.
WAVES OTT's continued partnership with DFB-Pokal not only brings thrilling football action closer to Indian fans but also fosters stronger ties between Indian and German football communities. The upcoming talent search tournament further underscores this commitment by providing budding players with unique opportunities to hone their skills under expert guidance. This exciting development promises not just entertainment but also growth opportunities for young talents aspiring to make it big in international football circuits.
