Phoenix-Galaxy game to go free-to-air with TVNZTuesday, 9 October 2007
FOOTBALL fans unable to be at Westpac Stadium to watch the Wellington Phoenix take on the LA Galaxy � featuring star recruit David Beckham � will be able to watch the match on free-to-air television courtesy of a deal struck by the capital club and TVNZ.
TVNZ has been awarded host broadcast rights for the match in the capital on Saturday, December 1, and will screen the big event live on TV ONE from 7pm.
Wellington Phoenix FC chief executive Tony Pignata said the arrangement with TVNZ was a great result for football fans in New Zealand.
�Although more than 30,000 people are likely to be at Westpac Stadium in Wellington to be part of the historic match, the club believes it�s important to ensure everyone in New Zealand has the chance to watch the game in what will be a massive weekend for sport in this country.
�TVNZ�s reach and accessibility means that people from Cape Reinga to the Bluff will be able to witness this extraordinary occasion, when the Phoenix play the star-studded Galaxy. This match promises to be one of the biggest sporting occasions in this country for a long, long time and we�re delighted that our arrangement with TVNZ will allow us to share the excitement with the entire country.�
TVNZ general manager of sport Murray Needham said the broadcast on TV ONE would be a tremendous boost for football�s profile in New Zealand.
�We see this occasion as a very special opportunity for all sports fans to see one of the world�s football superstars in action in this country.�
