FC Barcelona expands with Mexican television channel

FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona has broadened its reach with television channel Afizzionados, who became the LaLiga side’s official regional partner until 2026.

Afizzionados is a pay-tv channel that focuses entirely on sports, including live game broadcasts, debates, interviews, news, and analysis. Super Estadio and Vamos América are two of its original productions, with exclusive content covering the major European teams.

FC Barcelona, via this new agreement with Afizzionados, has been able to expand its worldwide network of partners. Afizzionados is broadcast on izzi 503/801 and Sky 545/1545 signals in Mexico.

Vice President of FC Barcelona Marketing Area, Juli Guiu, said via press release:

“Thanks to the agreement with afizzionats we can get a little closer to our Mexican supporters with audio-visual experiences and content associated to the football world. This will enhance the sense of belonging among Mexican fans, a country for which Barça has a special love.”

The partnership acts as another major step in growing FC Barcelona’s presence in Mexico, a country they have had close connections with since 1937. During the height of the Spanish Civil War, the club made one of its most important international tours of all time, which served as a driving force for the club in difficult times. As part of the deal, millions of Afizzionados subscribers will have access to special content and experiences modified for Barca supporters, which include draws for tickets for games at Spotify Camp Nou and men’s and women’s football shirts.

General Sales Manager for Izzi and Sky, Michel Bauer, added via press release:

“This new deal with such a high calibre sports club as FC Barcelona is a unique opportunity for us to continue advancing our mission to become the first-choice sports channel among consumers. We are also delighted to offer a chance for all Barça fans in Mexico to get a bit closer to and be more united to the Catalan club.”

The partnership will extend the prolific relationship shared between FC Barcelona and Mexico. Along with the deal with Afizzionados, FC Barcelona’s Exhibition appearing in Guadalajara and Monterrey early last year is a key step in fostering stronger ties with Mexico.

Fremantle City Launches 2026 NPL Season with Focus on Youth and Community

Fremantle City FC has officially launched its 2026 New Balance NPL WA Men’s and Women’s seasons, championing a community-first approach that puts young players at the heart of the club’s future.In a vibrant ceremony at Hilton Park, club juniors presented first-team shirts to senior Men’s and Women’s squads, symbolising a critical pathway from grassroots to elite football within the Fremantle family.

“This is very important for us- our juniors presenting shirts to our NPL Women’s and Men’s teams,” said Club President Tony Estrano. “2026 is the ninth year of our academy, running from under-nines up to under-16s, for both boys and girls. Today’s shirt handover by our Under 13s Academy and JDL teams shows these kids there is a real pathway to the first team.”

Head coach Samantha Geddes has reaffirmed the sentiment, emphasising Freo’s commitment to club unity: “Getting the whole club involved like this is brilliant. It’s great for our young girls to see that connection to the senior team and for senior players to inspire and support the next generation.”

Momentum and Ambition for 2026

Fremantle’s Women’s side enters 2026 riding high after a historic State Cup triumph last season, with captain Annabelle Leek setting her sights even higher: “Winning the State Cup was massive. We’re ready to build on that momentum, with new signings and a renewed focus on finishing in the top four.”

On the men’s side, after avoiding relegation last year and freshening up the roster with key signings, captain Cam Edwards is confident: “We’re ambitious, and with this group, we know we can put on a good show.”

Fremantle City has committed itself to turning club culture and youth pathways into on-field results, inspiring the next generation to wear the crest at every level.
