Hibs scrap FC Santa Coloma stream as Andorran FA offer free Europa Conference League option

Hibs’ Europa Conference League second qualifying round second leg against FC Santa Coloma will now NOT be broadcast live on HIbs TV.

The Easter Road club had offered fans the chance to stream tonight’s action from Andorra for £9.99 with the game being played behind closed doors.

However, there’s now been a change of plan.

The club are now concerned over the quality of the feed that would be broadcast and have now shelved the pay-per-view option.

Fans can still watch Jack Ross ’ side try and finish the job of progressing after winning the first leg 3-0 though.

The match is being steamed live and for free via the Andorran Football Association’s YouTube page.

A Hibs statement read: “This is due to concerns about the quality of the match feed. We pride ourselves on giving fans high-quality coverage and do not want to charge unless we can be sure the match coverage will be up to our standards and filmed with multiple cameras.

“We had secured the rights to be the only broadcaster showing the live match but reverted on this decision due to quality concerns.

“As a result, we have agreed the rights will be aired on YouTube and the match feed taken care of by FC Santa Coloma and the Andorran FA. We expect this to be a one-camera feed.

“Those who have already purchased PPV will be refunded.”
