BeIN Sports claims to be the first to bring an immersive stadium audio experience in the MENA region for its 4K subscribers.

This exciting collaboration with Dolby Atmos will allow our 4K subscribers to watch the UEFA Euro 2020 knockout matches like never before in the MENA region. Incorporating this immersive sound technology is just the beginning of even more innovative viewing capabilities from beIN.”
Pankaj Kedia, Managing Director of Emerging Markets at Dolby Laboratories, added: “We are delighted to collaborate with beIN and bring a live broadcast with Dolby Atmos to the football fans in MENA. With this development, we hope to advance the viewing of sports events with powerful and immersive sound, making the audience feel as though they are watching the football match from the middle of the pitch.”
