beIN Sports is to benefit from a new video contribution network from Qatari telco Ooredoo in partnership with the European Broadcast Union (EBU) for the delivery of HD European football footage between the broadcaster’s studios in Paris and Doha.



beIN Sports will aggregate all French Ligue 1 sports production through Paris and transmit the video content over the media contribution network, based on Net Insight’s Nimbra platform. It will also direct its coverage of Spain’s La Liga and the Italian Serie A through the network to Qatar.



“Our new robust network solution will enable us to deliver the very best high definition coverage of the most exciting European matches live and direct to our viewers’ homes. This world class network implementation is another indication of our ambition to be the world’s leading sports broadcaster,” said Mohammad Al Subaie, executive director of commercial affairs, beIN Media Group.



The network guarantees loss-less routing and provides enhanced capabilities to control the quality of service, with easily enabled ad hoc services, according to the EBU’s Graham Warren.



The Qatari sports broadcaster, formerly known as Al Jazeera Sport, holds the Middle East and North African broadcast rights to many major football leagues and competitions, including the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and the FIFA World Cup.
