Tiscali broadcasts Italian football

Football fans in the UK can watch an Italian football league match live on the internet this weekend via the Tiscali website.

The Inter Milan v Lazio match will be broadcast live at 2pm, Sunday 25 April at www.tiscali.co.uk/intermilan.

According to Tiscali, the broadcast will be the first of a series of trial games shown on its website following a deal it forged with Goal.com, with further broadcasts including Inter’s final home match against Parma on Sunday 9 May.

The Tiscali microsite will include on-demand replays of matches already played this season, including Inter’s recent 3-2 win over Juventus. Replays of future live games will be made available two days later and additional on-demand content includes highlights from classic Inter Milan games.

To watch the whole game live will cost 6 euros (£4), with all the highlights and some extra clips from the previous games offered for free.

Richard Ayers, editor of tiscali.co.uk, said: “This announcement is obviously of massive news to Inter Milan fans and followers of Italian football in the UK but should be of interest to football fans generally."

"Despite previous moves we’re still a long way off seeing competitive league football live over the net. However, with deals coming to an end in the UK over the next year, Tiscali is keen to explore the potential opportunities and we hope that our Inter Milan tie-up will help point the way ahead to live league football in the UK," added Ayers.
