DAZN CEO hits out at Belgian telecom operators

August 15, 2025 15.45 Europe/London By Julian Clover

The CEO of DAZN Belgium has criticised the country’s telecom companies after the continued failure to reach agreement on the distribution of topflight football.

DAZN has agreed an exclusive deal with the Belgian Pro League to distribute matches between 2025 and 2030.

A request for more money from the operators has not helped them reach a swift conclusion.

In an interview with Het Laatste Nieuws, Massimo D’Amario did not hold back: “Despite DAZN’s latest proposal, which takes significant steps towards the historical distributors, none of them has responded in a way that offers any prospect of an agreement being reached.”

“While we had hoped for a different outcome, the discussions of the past two weeks indicate that a quick solution is unlikely. As we evaluate our next steps, we reaffirm DAZN’s full commitment to bringing Belgian football to all football fans,” he concluded.
