“With full HD capability, increased bandwidth and top-of-the-line equipment, we are thrilled to renew our partnership with Tourbeau Sports Group to continue to raise the standard of our broadcasts from City Stadium,” commented Shelley Sowers, Richmond Kickers General Manager. “We are once again looking forward to working with the leading experts in soccer-specific production to provide the most professional product possible for Kickers fans worldwide.”
Tourbeau Sports Group has produced live broadcasts of U.S. Soccer National Team matches, USSDA Playoffs, North American Soccer League, National Premier League (NPSL), United Soccer League matches and now multiple exclusive partnerships with clubs throughout the USL’s soccer pyramid in the USL and PDL among other professional and youth soccer organizations such as the Boston Breakers of the NWS, US Youth Soccer National Championships, MLS Preseason Friendlies, National Team International Friendlies and more.
“We are really excited to continue our work with the Kickers, said Chase Neidig, Tourbeau Sports Group President. “As one of the front runners in the USL, the Kickers understand the importance of excellence on and off the pitch and we hope to enhance that experience through the new media and live streaming platform.”
“As a soccer-specific production company, we value and understand how important our relationship is with the Kickers and we want to provide professional video streaming services to soccer organizations to only great clubs such as the Kickers but also many others at a professional level for a fraction of the price of most production houses,” added Neidig. “We had a blast in 2014 producing matches in Richmond and we are even more excited for the buzz surrounding the 2015 campaign.”
