UEFA has awarded 2009-12 media rights for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League in Ukraine to current broadcast partner Poverkhnost.

Extensive coverage
From the 2009/10 season, fans of the UEFA Champions League in Ukraine will benefit from extensive coverage of the competition with at least six matches each matchweek (three on Tuesday and three on Wednesday) being broadcast live on Poverkhnost's pay channels Sport 1, Sport 2 and Sport 3.

Live and highlights
Two additional matches each match week will be screened live on free-to-air - including any matches featuring Ukrainian clubs, the UEFA Champions League final and the UEFA Super Cup - as well as highlights programmes on both nights and UEFA's weekly magazine programme. For the UEFA Europa League, one match and one highlights programme per matchweek will be shown on free-to-air. Poverkhnost will also deliver comprehensive coverage on its Sport 1, Sport 2 and Sport 3 channels as well as a highlights programme every matchweek featuring a round-up of the best of the action from the competition in its new format. All matches from both competitions will be available live on the internet via www.poverkhnost.tv.

Reliable partner
"We are delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with Poverkhnost in Ukraine," said UEFA. "In recent years they have proved to be a reliable broadcast partner. In particular, this deal means that football fans in Ukraine will be able to enjoy the best of the UEFA Champions League at a time when two of the country's best known teams, FC Dynamo Kyiv and FC Shakhtar Donetsk, have featured prominently in the UEFA Champions League." TEAM Marketing AG is the exclusive marketing agent of UEFA for the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Europa League.
