Choosing a network to watch your heart team games can be a difficult task
Campuses, SP, 15 (AFI) Selecting a network to watch your heart team games can be a difficult task. There are several channels on open TV, pay TV, free and paid websites on the internet, apps and various other options.
With the huge audience that the games have and the amount of money that TV invests in the championships, it is not wrong to say that football does not live without TV or that TV does not live without football. But do you know when this relationship started? Check out in the sequence a little bit of the history of the relationship between football and TV.
When was the first football broadcast on TV?
Although football is the world's greatest sports passion, the first time a football match was broadcast by a television station only happened in 1930. A German station would have broadcast in 1936 the 2x2 tie between Germany and Italy.
In Brazil, the first TV game only happened in 1958, a few years after the TV arrived in Brazil. The classic between Santos and Palmeiras held at the Belmiro Village in 1955 was broadcast live on TV Record. The match ended with Santos'victory by 3x1.
The first World Cup broadcast on TV
Even though it has been held since 1930, and already with the existence of football matches broadcasts to some countries, the first World Cup to have a live TV match only happened in 1954 in Switzerland, with the game France and Yugoslavia, the opening of the championship. For Brazilians, champions in 1958, the possibility of following a selection match in a World Cup only arrived in 1962, Chile.
Unlike today, where you watch your team's games anywhere through IPTV, Youtube or any other device, the technology available at the time did not allow the matches to be broadcast live, so the tapes of the games were sent by plane from Chile to Brazil, causing a match to be transmitted up to two days late.
Show championship trophies
The 1970 year was the watershed for television's football broadcast to become what it is today. In the world of Mexico, Brazilian fans were able to follow one of the most fantastic football teams that have ever existed in live games.
Despite being able to follow the live games, Brazil's fans still had to be content with black and white images, while in Europe the transmission of the matches was all in color. It was only since 1974 that the broadcasters began to broadcast the World Cup games live and in color.
TV and football have built a relationship where today, mainly in Brazilian football, one does not live without the other, and this makes both of them move forward together and become better and better. Do you remember the first game you watched on TV?
