So how expensive are the current TV Rights deals? Stan said it had 2.3 million active subscribers in early May, adding that about 150,000 subscribers watched Stan Sport.The European football governing body then distributes the proceeds from these broadcast, commercial rights and tickets/hospitality to the participating clubs using a complex financial distribution model. Stan’s acting chief executive Martin Kugeler said securing a deal with UEFA underscored the streaming service’s commitment to premium sport. Football and television sources, who are not authorised to speak publicly, said Stan is interested in a range of other competitions including Italy’s Serie A and the English Premier League, which comes up for renegotiation next year. The UEFA Champions League is unlikely to be the only football competition that Stan will bid for. Stan has not made a decision on whether it will broadcast the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, which will mark the start of former Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou’s journey with Scottish giants Celtic. Industry sources familiar with the terms of the deal said Stan’s offer was significantly less than the $60 million deal proposed by SportsFlick. Stan, which had tabled the second-highest bid behind Sports Flick, subsequently entered talks with UEFA once the proposal fell over.
But sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly, say it was actually due to an inability to obtain bank guarantees to close the deal. Sports Flick later withdrew its bid citing the uncertainty caused by the European Super League controversy over the format of the Champions League.
