The BBC is to broadcast all of England’s UEFA European Women’s Championship games when the team heads to Sweden next summer.
The
deal will see live coverage of all England’s matches, both semi-finals
and the final played out across BBC Two and BBC Three. In addition, all
other peak time matches will be broadcast on BBC Three.
Following
a hugely successful London 2012, the BBC is committed to raising the
profile of women’s sport in the UK and building on its already
impressive portfolio of events and related output.
BBC Director of
Sport, Barbara Slater comments: “We’re delighted to be adding the UEFA
European Women’s Championships to our portfolio of women’s sport. The
response to women’s football at London 2012 showed that there is a
strong appetite for it and we look forward to bringing our audiences the
excitement and drama of another major tournament.”
