FC Barcelona’s influence on the internet is massive in the world of football. The Catalans can boast of a large army of fans on social media. On Facebook, they gather 75 million members and counting. On Twitter, their main account (@fcbarcelona) has over 12 million followers. However, the addition of their other various accounts – for their Catalan, Spanish, Indonesian, Japanese and French fan bases among others – sees them surpass 25 million Twitter followers. Enviable!
Attracting a wide following is one thing but keeping them informed is another. One of the most frequently asked questions by football fans ahead of Matchdays is: “When and where can I watch the match?”
For FC Barcelona, there is no better way to answer that, than to make use of LiveSoccerTV’s thoroughly researched data which compiles live broadcast listings for hundreds of countries around the world. Not surprising at all, since LSTV provides channel info from official sources only, indirectly helping the fight against illegal streaming on the internet.
The 2014/15 UEFA Champions League season is finally underway and FC Barcelona fans cannot wait for Lionel Messi and company to get the ball rolling on the European stage. That said, in an article published on September 16th, the Blaugrana decided – not for the first time – to tell their supporters when and where to watch Barcelona vs APOEL live, via LiveSoccerTV.com’s unrivaled compilation of global broadcast listings.

Victor Irzak, a devoted fan of the 114th-year-old Catalonian club and a loyal LSTV visitor, was quoted as saying on Wednesday:
“I am glad to see FC Barcelona using LiveSoccerTV.com's reliable broadcast data. Their website is a great resource for me. As a football fan, they help me stay informed.”

In Spanish...
Even in Idonesian... and other languages! LiveSoccerTV's reliable broadcast data goes global!
When the news reached LiveSoccerTV on Wednesday, the company's Data Manager expressed his satisfaction despite the fact that FC Barcelona failed to follow LSTV's rules when it comes to giving full credit:
“As the data manager at LSTV, I'm delighted that a great club like Barcelona recognizes the excellence of our exclusively-compiled global broadcast information,” he declared.
“LiveSoccerTV offers a varied range of services and many ways for other sources to use our content – one of them being through the embeddable feed that Manchester City FC use on their official website.”
The head of LSTV’s broadcast data department concluded:
“I'm hopeful that Barcelona will benefit from that in the near future, and continue to feed their worldwide fans with accurate information on where to watch their football matches.”
Talking about Manchester City, the English club became the first to use LiveSoccerTV’s embeddable broadcast info feed, back in February 2014. Since then, ahead of absolutely every match they play, the mega rich Citizens feed their website visitors with information straight from LiveSoccerTV with a link back to www.livesoccertv.com, as required by LSTV’s rules.
