UEFA Champions League

Al Jazeera Sports pulled off a major coup at the start of 2008 by winning the rights for the UEFA Champions League for three seasons starting from season 2009-2010. The rights were previously with ART Sport.

After seasons and seasons of exclusively airing the UEFA Champions League, ART now loses those rights to Aljazeera Sport Channel. Aljazeera won those rights and for the UEFA cup for at least the next three seasons from 2009 to 2012.

Ayman Jadah, Al Jazeera's General Manager, said: “this is a major development for us. Right now, we have about one million subscribers. We are looking at a figure of three million subscribers in the next two years,”

Al Jazeera beat off competition from ART, Orbit, Showtime and Abu Dhabi to secure the rights. The bid figure was not revealed.

The Purchase of ART Sport channels

On Tuesday 24/11/2009, Al Jazeera Sports officially announced after various rumors on many web sites, the purchase of ART sports channels which includes the brand name and all sports rights held by the channel including the FIFA Competitions Rights. The announcement was made at a conference at the Ritz-Carlton, Doha, Qatar. The Purchase agreement allows the subscribers of both network to view all ART Channels and Aljazeera Channels plus ESPN, ESPN Classic and ESPN America until the 31st of December where the ART Sport Channels 1-6 will cease operation allowing aljazeera sports to become the largest sport network in the middle east and north africa region.

The agreement was welcomed by many locals as aljazeera sports as the value of sporting rights held by the channel is much more than the price paid to view them.

In Qatar

Al Jazeera Sports was the first sports channel to be launched from Qatar. It has broadcasted events held in Qatar like the 2006 Asian Games, the Losail leg of the MotoGP, Qatari League, The Emir Cup, Heir Apparent Cup and also FIFA World Cup qualifying matches of Qatar.
