Gerard Piqué's company buys the rights to the French league in Spain

Kosmos, the company of which the Barcelona central defender is co-owner and CEO Gerard Piqué, has bought the rights to television broadcast in Spain of the French league , in which the Argentine plays Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain), to sublicense them to another channel or platform that broadcasts them.

The purchase, made together with the company Enjoy Televisión, includes the exploitation in Spain of the television rights of the two main categories of French football, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, for the next three seasons , as advanced by ‘2Playbook’ and has been able to confirm EFE through Kosmos Holdings sources.

The objective of the company directed by Gerard Piqué is sublicense or rent the broadcasting rights to a television channel or internet television platform operating in Spain, company sources have explained to EFE.

Therefore, Kosmos is not expected to broadcast by its own means the French championship, as it did with the Copa América 2021 of this summer, which he offered through the channel of the narrator Ibai Llanos on the live video platform over the internet Twitch.

The French championship, which Movistar had offered for Spanish fans in previous seasons, has gained special interest since the arrival of Argentine Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain , with whom he could debut next Sunday against Reims, in a match corresponding to the fourth day of the French championship.
