“We said we were going to bring an exciting, flexible and affordable way to watch the best sport in Spain, and today we’ve done exactly that,” said Veronica Diquattro, EVP, Southern Europe, DAZN. “This is just the start of our journey so our compelling price point reflects that. We will continue to build our portfolio of sports and when we add significant premium content fans should expect that to be reflected in our price, whilst always maintaining our approach of making sport more affordable and accessible. DAZN continues to work with the biggest stars, so I’m also delighted to announce two new ambassadors, megastars of sport: Neymar Jr and José Mourinho who will also feature in original content on the platform. This is a euphoric moment and we can’t wait to get started.”

Superstar Neymar Jr has joined DAZN as a global brand ambassador in a multi-year agreement, along with legendary football manager Jose Mourinho, who will provide punditry and promotional duties in 2019. Neymar Jr, and Mourinho join DAZN’s A-grade ambassador line up of Cristiano Ronaldo Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and Marc Márquez as it expands around the world, and prepares to launch in Brazil.

Neymar Jr said: “Growing up in Brazil instils a love of sports, especially football. Brazilians rally behind the teams and athletes they love. I think DAZN has the same type of passion towards sports and wanting to make it as easy and affordable as possible for people to enjoy. Sports should be available for everyone and I’m happy to join a brand that has this goal in their DNA.”

José Mourinho said: “DAZN is giving football fans a new way to enjoy the sport and players they love. Their style of live football coverage is different from what I’ve experienced before. I like their authenticity and pushing the boundaries of sports broadcasting. I’m excited to join DAZN as a global ambassador and connect with football fans around the world with this platform.”

As well as the best live and on-demand sport, DAZN has commissioned DAZN Original “In Our Blood”. The 3×30 minute series celebrates the tradition of great Spanish MotoGP riders and mark the beginning of the new MotoGP season. The series explores Spain’s passion for MotoGP through the generations, by telling the stories of Spanish MotoGP World Champions Àlex Crivillé, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez.
