FORMAT
FootSchool TV consists mainly of short programs with dynamic videos.

- Short programs: even when watching FootSchool TV just a few minutes everyday, at regular times (or not), you can continuously learn new tricks and techniques about your favorite sport or just enjoy fantastic skills and moves with powerful background music. Every morning, noon and afternoon, before school starts or after school is over, kids are offered short programs that adapt to their timetable. Thanks to the short program formats, you can switch on the TV at any time and watch an entire show from start to finish even when in a hurry.

- Dynamic videos: because today’s young viewers are very often multi-tasking and have a short attention-span, a fast paced rhythm is the key so as to keep their attention and interest renewed. A special emphasis is also placed on the background music, as this is an essential part of the channelīs dynamism too.

GLOBAL
Football is one of the few forms of entertainment in the world that brings together young and old, male and female at the same time.

As football events have a global impact, the need for separate signals with specific programs in each country is much less obvious than for other TV channels. Football stars are known the world over and football moves are the same everywhere on the planet. So, airing the same programs wherever the channel is broadcast makes perfect sense.

But, in its TV programs FootSchool TVīs ambition is to highlight the local color, stressing the diversity of landscape, people and conditions wherever football is played on the planet.

LANGUAGE
FootSchool TV positions itself as a truly international TV, but local languages are essential. So, FootSchool TV is multi-lingual from the outset.

- Starting with up to 8 languages: Initially, FootSchool TV is launched in English and Russian, then German, French and Spanish, expanding soon after to Portuguese, Italian and Arabic. For some of the other languages of Eastern and Western Europe, FootSchool TV works with local partners to produce their own language version.

- In order to achieve this, FootSchool TVīs schedule is mostly based on shows with little or no talking. FootSchool TV gives priority to images with background music. Football, like music, is a universal language.
