Italian league launches streaming service to show games

MILAN (AP) The Italian league has launched a new online streaming service that will allow fans to watch up to three matches each round.

The service will be free for the rest of the month on the Serie A app - which is only available in Italy - and will then cost 2 euros per match, or 3.99 euros for all three.

The new Serie A TV will also offer a second screen during the fixtures, where viewers can consult statistics about the match and individual players. There will be a pre- and post-match show for each game featured.

League President Maurizio Beretta says it is targeted at ''youngsters who love watching football and interacting with new technologies at the same time.''
