Singtel will broadcast the Copa America Centenario USA 2016. This competition is the oldest international tournament for nations in the Americas and features top players like Alexis Sanchez, Lionel Messi, and Luis Suárez. This year, for the first time, the tournament will be hosted outside of South America.

Goh Seow Eng, Managing Director, Home, Consumer Singapore, Singtel, stated that combining Copa America 2016 and UEFA Euro 2016 broadcasts allows Singtel to provide fans with two of the most exciting football events globally.

This announcement follows Singtel’s announcement earlier in the week that it had secured broadcast rights for the 2016 UEFA European Championship. This prominent competition features top players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Gerard Pique.

Goh previously stated that fans could anticipate more exciting football action after the conclusion of the Barclays Premier League season in May, with the UEFA Euro 2016 featuring the top European teams. He added that Singtel TV is “thrilled” to offer complete live coverage of this world-class tournament, calling Singtel TV the “Home of Football.”

Singtel announced that the opening match, one semi-final match, and the final UEFA EURO 2016 match will be available via live stream nationwide for free to anyone who downloads the Singtel TV GO app.

Goh explained that Singtel wanted to share the excitement of UEFA Euro 2016, which will be larger this year with more teams and matches.

This is the first year that 24 European national teams, including Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, and Wales, will compete in UEFA Euro 2016, alongside favorites like Germany, England, Spain, and Italy.
