beIN MEDIA GROUP (beIN) and Group ONE Holdings (ONE) have announced an exclusive multi-year partnership to broadcast ONE Championship events live across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for the first time in the region.
\nThis is a milestone partnership that will mark the first time beIN is distributing mixed martial arts content to its audiences, underlining the growth of the sport across the region as well as the growing fanbase and rising demand for ONE\u2019s dynamic content.
\nbeIN SPORTS, beIN\u2019s flagship channel, will broadcast ONE\u2019s international events with both Arabic and English commentary across 24 territories in the MENA region. The broadcaster will also feature ONE round-up shows across its channels, in addition to dedicated social media and digital content throughout the year on beIN SPORTS\u2019 platforms.
\nMohammad Al-Subaie, CEO of beIN MENA said: \u201cWe are delighted to sign this agreement with ONE, a significant promoter of MMA throughout Asia, and one that has united fans and fighters alike under a powerful martial arts and e-sports banner. ONE events are a fantastic addition to our already impressive sports portfolio, and highlights our ongoing commitment to showcasing diverse sports to our subscribers across MENA.\u201d
\nChatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of Group ONE Holdings, added: \u201cThis partnership with beIN will be the catalyst for ONE\u2019s content proliferation across the Middle East and North Africa and will allow us to reach and engage live with our passionate fans here through the largest sports broadcaster in the region. beIN is one of the world\u2019s leaders in sports broadcasting and we\u2019re very proud that they\u2019ve chosen to partner with us and showcase our unique products on their platform.\u201d
\nOne of the key drivers of the partnership is the demographic alignment. The Middle East and North Africa is a region with one of the most attractive demographics globally that is highly\u00a0Millennial and\u00a0GenZ\u00a0(74% under the age of 39), digitally native and well-educated. ONE\u2019s fan demographic mirrors this with\u00a071% of its fans under the age of 442.\u00a0
\nMartial arts participation and engagement has grown significantly across MENA over the last few years. This announcement is just the latest in a series of partnerships that ONE has signed, including recent agreements with the Qatar Investment Authority and Media City Qatar, as it seeks to become the leader in martial arts and gaming across the region.<\/p>\n
