In a move to significantly enhance how football fans worldwide experience FIFA events, Infront Productions, a global powerhouse in sports production and broadcasting, has announced a strategic collaboration with FIFA+, FIFA’s official streaming platform.
The partnership sees Infront Productions deliver comprehensive downlink, distribution, and multilingual commentary services for hundreds of matches streamed live on FIFA+, promising a richer and more accessible viewing experience for a global audience.
Under the terms of this significant agreement, Infront Productions will leverage its cutting-edge facilities and deep technical expertise to ensure seamless and high-quality broadcast operations for FIFA+. This encompasses the critical management of satellite downlinking, the implementation of advanced SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) distribution and bonded cellular technology for resilient signal delivery, and the efficient distribution of content directly to the FIFA+ platform.
A cornerstone of this collaboration will be Infront Productions’ provision of extensive multilingual commentary services. Utilizing sophisticated cloud-based remote platforms alongside their established, state-of-the-art in-house facilities in Milan, Infront will expertly source and manage a diverse pool of commentators. This initiative will deliver live match commentary in multiple key languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, significantly boosting accessibility and engagement for FIFA+’s diverse global fanbase.
The partnership encompasses a broad spectrum of FIFA competitions, including the highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualification matches, crucial age-grade tournaments showcasing future stars, and thrilling global competitions in the fast-paced worlds of Futsal and Beach Soccer. In total, over 300 matches are slated to benefit directly from Infront Productions’ specialized services.
Alessandro Lonati, Director of Infront Productions Italy, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration and said, “This collaboration reinforces our expertise in broadcast production and content at the highest level of sport. The project will be run through our facilities in Milan and its world-class MCR, leveraging our extensive experience in delivering complex live sports productions and supporting some of the world’s biggest events. It comes at a time of significant investment in our production centre as we welcome new clients, including FIFA+, to our portfolio. We look forward to supporting them in bringing these matches to audiences worldwide with precision and efficiency.”
