La Liga to Introduce Half Time Interviews, Dressing Room Cameras to Improve Coverage

• La Liga will introduce new coverage ideas this coming season to improve what fans experience
• Half-time interviews, dressing room footage, and microphones on players will all be introduced
• These measures are aimed at improving the product and giving fans more insight on matchdays

In a bid to improve the matchday experience for viewers, La Liga are planning to introduce half-time interviews, dressing room cameras, and face-to-face chats with coaches.

The new ideas are aimed at giving fans more insight into the action, much like American sports like the NBA.

Most football leagues do not allow cameras in the dressing room, but clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City have allowed Amazon to film inside their changerooms.

The new measures also include microphones on players during warm-ups and in the dressing rooms, to capture the coaches and players talking.

Earlier this month, La Liga revealed the new measures will improve the audiovisual experience of the fans.

The league said this was in response to demands made by broadcast rights holders, who are aiming for an improved product to match the level of other elite sports leagues in the world.

La Liga clubs will earn more by implementing these new measures.

Other measures coming in the 2023/24 season include interviewing the coaching staff, pre-match footage from inside changing rooms, new camera angles in the dugouts, aerial cameras, and cinematic cameras in the tunnels, per COPE.
