Esmeralda Negron, co-founder and general manager of Ata Football, added: “We are relentless in our drive to ensure the best women’s football from the globe is accessible on Ata Football … The opportunity to bring Serie A TimVision to our platform is another huge step, offering our community and fans the chance to more easily access and enjoy top-flight international women’s football, its most iconic clubs, and rising stars.”

Ata Football adds the women’s Serie A to a portfolio of top-tier female soccer competitions that already includes (in the US) England’s Women’s Super League, France’s D1 Arkema, and the Primera Iberdola from Spain.

In September this year, Ata expanded its partnership with NBC Sports, a division of the US national broadcaster.

During the ongoing 2021-22 European club soccer season, NBC Sports is covering an expanded selection of games – over 100 in total – from the aforementioned leagues to which Ata has rights.

Ata Football is supported by 777 Partners, a Miami-based US investment firm that was founded in 2015 and has since grown into a global holding company of more than 50 businesses over five continents.

Atalanta Media looks to buy up rights to women’s leagues and distribute them to high-profile broadcasters for free to accelerate the visibility of women’s soccer.
