Football and TV: Decades of history side by side

 Choosing a network to watch your favorite football team can be a difficult task. There are open TV, pay TV, free and paid websites, apps, and other options.

 

Because the Olympic Games have a large audience and TV investment in the tournament, it is not wrong to say that football is not without TV, or that TV is not without football. But do you know when this relationship started? Look at the history of the relationship between football and television.

 

When was the first football broadcast?

Although football was the world's greatest sporting passion, the station first broadcast football games in 1930. In 1936, a German radio station broadcast a 2 x2 draw between Germany and Italy.

In Brazil, the first television match was only placed in 1958, years after television arrived in Brazil. In 1955, Santos and Palmer as classics in Bel mir o Village aired live on television Records. The match ended with Santos with a 3 x1 victory.

 

When was the first World Cup on TV?

Although it has been held since 1930 and with the presence of some national football matches, the first World Cup live televised was not held in Switzerland until 1954, the match between France and Yugoslavia being the opening of the tournament. For the Brazilian champions in 1958, the possibility of a World Cup came to Chile.

The technology available at the time did not allow live matches, so the game's tapes flew from Chile to Brazil, resulting in match transmission delayed by two days. Unlike today, you see that your favorite football team can go through the IPTV, Youtube, or any other device.

 

When is the championship trophy displayed?

The 1970s was a watershed for television football broadcasting. In the Mexican world, Brazilian fans can follow one of the best football teams on the field.

Despite being able to follow live games, Brazilian fans must still be content with black and white images, while in Europe, the transmission of games is all colored. It was not until 1974 that the broadcaster began to broadcast the World Cup live in color.

 

Television and football establish a relationship, mainly in Brazilian football, one person will not live without another, which makes the two of them move forward together and become better and better. Do you remember the first game you watched on TV?
