Olympique de Marseille will broadcast its next two matches live on Twitch.

After more than five months without playing a single match, Olympique de Marseille are making their comeback to the pitch.

And it will be on Twitch!

Today, the Club announced the broadcast of the next two friendlies against FC Pinzgau and SV Heimstetten live on its Twitch channel, as well as on OM.fr. Olympique de Marseille will be the first French football club to broadcast its matches on Twitch in an obvious step toward its innovation and digital strategy. On Sunday, 19 July, OM will face FC Pinzgau (Austrian third division) at 6.30 pm CET at the Kufstein Arena. The second match will take place on Wednesday, 22 July,  against SV Heimstetten (German fourth division) at 19:00 CET in Grassau, Germany (schedule subject to change).
 

Olympique de Marseille chief marketing & media officer Hervé Philippe: “Olympique de Marseille continues to innovate digitally and is proud to be a pioneer once again by broadcasting its first two friendly matches on Twitch, a platform we will be more and more active on in the coming months. After TikTok, which we joined very early in January 2019, and Snapchat in February 2019, OM plans to connect with a younger and more digitally active audience on social networks. Football and OM have quickly become highly sought and interactive themes on these platforms. So it makes sense to participate with creativity and interactivity. "

 

Twitch-France partnership manager Corentin Dubois: "This is the very first time that Twitch will broadcast a live match for a Ligue 1 club. We are very proud to support Olympique de Marseille in its preparations for next season. Football fans were able to follow their favorite stars on Twitch during the confinement and can continue to support their clubs on the platform. ”
