It may not be Australia's biggest sport, but water polo is on the rise - and with Aussie teams consistently dominating the competition internationally, it makes sense that the sport is looking to expand its audience locally. Enter OVO Mobile.
The telco has announced it will partner with Water Polo Australia to offer OVOPlay users exclusive access to live matches over the next four years, both here and overseas. The deal will see the sport broadcast to existing fans and a new audience eager to cheer on our country's teams in the lead up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
With more than 11 million Australians now using their phones, tablets and laptops to enjoy live streaming sports each month, OVO is using its Play digital broadcast service to shine a light on events and codes that haven't always been accessible to network TV viewers.
Partnering with Water Polo Australia means fans of the sport can enjoy matches all year round, not just during major international meets such as the Olympic Games.
Stream sports, data-free
With both the men's Aussie Sharks and women's Aussie Stingers teams claiming gold at the recent FINA World League Intercontinental tournament, it's a huge opportunity for sports-loving Australians to get involved and support our most promising athletes anywhere, anytime via mobile. And if you're an OVO customer, you can stream all the games you like, 100% data-free.
OVOPlay subscribers will receive access to all of Water Polo Australia's live matches, plus other sports content including gymnastics, superbikes and drag racing. The app also includes streaming radio from Triple M and the Hit! radio network, including 2DayFM.
Viewers don't need to have an OVO Mobile account to subscribe, but OVO Mobile customers will get to stream unlimited content independently of their plan's monthly data allowance. OVO Mobile's prepaid plans start at $9.95 per month for 1GB of data and $200 of standard calls, with its largest $44.95 plan including 12GB of fast data plus unlimited calls and texts.
OVO Mobile operates on the Optus 4G Plus network and offers easy BYO phone plans with no lock-in contracts. For more information on OVO's plans, start comparing below.
