Eleven has revealed that it is supporting the production, delivery and distribution of live content on the newly launched FIFA+ streaming platform.
FIFA+ was launched on 12 April, and will have over 40,000 live matches-a-year alongside original and archive content. Commissioning editor and content lead for global originals James Abraham told Broadcast Sport what the service is looking for from its original content.
