Arabsat: beIN Sports did not appeal the ruling in France, but has requested an error correction

"The Arab Satellite Communications Organization (Arabsat) is pleased to announce a new ruling by a another independent French court upholding the previous ruling which dismissed all claims by beIN Sports against the organization and rejecting an appeal attempt by beIN (see below)," stated the Saudi satellite operator Arabsat on 19/09/2019.

beIN Sports has not made an appeal of the legal decision, but has requested a material error correction of the ruling of 13/06/2019 (see below).

"Arabsat, while rejecting the allegations made against it, deeply regrets irresponsible statements made by FIFA and other federations which contain disgraceful repetitions of the beIN network’s claims," said Arabsat, on 19/09/2019, following the publication of a report on the activities of the Saudi pirate entity beoutQ published by the American firm MarkMonitor, and commissioned jointly by FIFA, UEFA, the AFC, the Premier League, LaLiga, the DFL, the Lega Serie A and the LFP on 16/09/2019.
