Veikkausliiga CEO Timo Marjamaa
"Our cooperation with Sanoma has started well and we are pleased to be expanding our co-operation. Ruutu+ is one of Finland's most popular streaming services, potentially our reach can get better and better" says Veikkausliiga's CEO Timo Marjamaa.
President of Nelonen Media Kari Laakso "I'm really pleased with this agreement. Veikkausliiga is a great product and it significantly improves the sports content of Ruutu+. In the upcoming season, Ruutu+ shows all the games and once a month, Nelonen will stream football free-to-air, so the domestic soccer gets further visibility."
