(Reuters) - The Women's World Cup will be broadcast in Britain, Spain, France, Germany and Italy after governing body FIFA extended its agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), ending the threat of a blackout in Europe's top soccer nations.
The rights for this year's tournament are being sold separately from the men's World Cup for the first time and FIFA President Gianni Infantino said last month that the five countries would face a blackout unless"unacceptable" bids were improved.
"As part of this agreement, the EBU has committed to working towards broadcasting at least one hour of weekly content dedicated to women's football on its own digital platform and broadcaster network. The tournament will be broadcast by ITV and BBC in Britain, ARD and ZDF in Germany, France Televisions, RAI and RTVE . Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
