This new addition is part of the continued growth of Samsung Sports offerings available to its users.

The free FIFA+ channel on Samsung TV Plus contains a wide selection of original and archived FIFA+ releases and highlights from men’s and women’s games. In addition, users in Brazil and Italy can watch full FIFA Women’s World Cup matches live on Samsung TV Plus.

The technology partnership builds on existing global sports content on Samsung TVs, which includes the DAZN Tizen app, DAZN FAST+ (Germany and Austria), DAZN Women’s Soccer (Australia and New Zealand), Tennis Channel (Austria, Germany, India, Netherlands, Switzerland, UK), DraftKings Network (US), CBS Sports HQ (US) and more on Samsung TV Plus.

Samsung TV Plus is the device maker’s free source of entertainment and sports, bringing thousands of TV shows and movies to millions of Samsung Smart TVs. In many countries, it’s also available on Galaxy devices, select Family Hub refrigerators, and on the web.

“We are very excited to add FIFA+ to the sports content we offer on Samsung TV Plus,” commented Aline Jabbour, Business Development Manager, Samsung TV Plus, LATAM. “Fans in Latin America are passionate about football, and the timing couldn’t be better, with the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023. Our fans will be able to enjoy matches and content that will mark the next chapter in women’s football.”

The announcement comes as the highly anticipated FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 is being held in Australia and New Zealand.

FIFA+ will give customers access to thousands of hours of unrivaled content about football’s greatest stars. FIFA Originals will feature full-length documentaries, mini-series, talk shows and short films that tell the world’s stories of men’s and women’s football. Among them are “The Happiest Man in the World” (the genius, innovator, educator and revolutionary Ronaldinho), “Croatia: Defining a Nation” (the story of how a group of footballers defined a new nation through soccer) and “Bravas de Juarez” (the inspiring sacrifices behind a dream Latin American women’s soccer team), among countless others, both long and short.

In the meantime, the FIFA Archives will be home to all FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women’s World Cup matches ever recorded. In addition to full match replays, editorial-style programming will also be available, including league highlights, goal kicks, team-focused programming, and customized player profiles.
