Specialist sports filming company FilmMyMatch is helping to raise awareness and boost revenue for grassroot sports by providing affordable live streaming opportunities for sporting organisations and teams across the UK.

Matches are captured using mobile HI-POD equipment which is capable of filming 25ft (7.6m) above pitch-level, offering an optimal view of the action unfolding on the pitch. The match footage is then uploaded to the FilmMyMatch online sharing platform where it can be viewed, shared and downloaded.

The company also offers a broadcasting service allowing teams to stream games live using multiple 4G networks, that enables them to deliver a reliable stream without an internet connection.

Other services include live commentary and graphics which are designed to enable organisations to deliver high-quality live productions to raise awareness and engage fans as well as potential sponsors.

"There's a real buzz around live streaming and its future potential, in terms of team and sport awareness and the revenue it can help generate, which in turn can be reinvested to drive further growth," said Dave Roe, director of FilmMyMatch.

Early UK adopters of the live streaming service include the Scottish Women's Premier League, England Boxing, Scottish Netball, English Lacrosse, Rugby School and English Lacrosse.
