The addition of Serie A Femminile eBay in the UK, US, Germany, Spain, Canada, Portugal, Belgium,
Japan, and Austria bolsters DAZN’s extensive portfolio of women’s football rights and builds upon DAZN’s growth and development strategy for women’s football, especially after the hugely successful FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
