London – MP & Silva announced it has acquired the media rights of one of the world’s most exciting football leagues, LaLiga, in Scandinavia and Finland, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and Japan. The deal makes MP & Silva the exclusive distributor across media platforms including television rights across cable, satellite and terrestrial, internet TV, IPTV and mobile.

This new agreement reinforces MP & Silva’s comprehensive line-up of top football leagues, tournaments and club content from around the world.
Javier Tebas, President of LaLiga commented: “LaLiga is keen to engage with its fan base all over the world, and we are very pleased to once again be partnering with MP & Silva. We have a long established partnership and they are very well positioned to represent the league’s interests and expand our fan base in new territories.”
