Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group) has acquired the exclusive Nordic media rights to the leading women\u2019s football leagues out of England, Germany and France.<\/p>\n

With the rights to England\u2019s Barclays FA Women\u2019s Super League, Germany\u2019s Frauen-Bundesliga and France\u2019s Division 1 F\u00e9minine, NENT Group\u2019s Viaplay streaming service will make available more than 100 women\u2019s football matches every year through 2022. Selected games will also broadcast on NENT Group\u2019s free-TV channels.<\/p>\n

Kim Mikkelsen, NENT Group\u2019s head of sport, added: \u201cWomen\u2019s football is entering a new era after this summer\u2019s FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup attracted a worldwide audience of over 1 billion viewers.
