Facebook's future plans are to launch an application for the set-top boxes, like Apple TV, to be able to offer a greater variety of its own content, content that can be consumed mainly through televisions, although it will also be available through your applications. The idea of Facebook is to start creating exclusive content to be a platform but also to get fully involved in sports broadcasts, just like Twitter has been doing for half a year. Once again we can see how the original ideas of Facebook are conspicuous by their absence. An example of Facebook's intentions, we find them in the agreement reached with LaLiga and MEDIAPRO to broadcast the matches of the LaCopa semifinals through the social network.
This agreement will allow the social network and LaLiga take the Cup semifinals to more than 40 countries quickly and easily. The channel where we will be able to follow these semifinals is Facebook.com/laliga. In this way, LaLiga ensures that all Spanish football fans can enjoy it completely free of charge, something very strange in recent years, but taking into account that the Copa del Rey is a bit undervalued, this movement may be oriented to try to make it more popular.
The countries from where you can follow these games They are: UK, Ireland, Italy, Iceland, Belgium, Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Myanmar, Korea, China, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
This It is not the first time that Facebook has broadcast a football match, since last year Facebook broadcast the women's soccer match between Atlético de Madrid Femenino and Athelic Club, a broadcast that reached more than 2 million people. The second leg of Barcelona - Atlético de Madrid will be played on February 7, while the match between Alavés and Celta de Vigo can be enjoyed on Facebook on February 8.
