A.S. Roma Becomes First Serie A Club to Live Stream Match on Twitter

Whenever an Italian Serie A club matches up against a lower-tier squad, the result is likely going to go in the elite team’s favor. On Monday, for the first time, A.S. Roma displayed that dominance on a worldwide viewing platform.

Roma defeated Serie D club Latina in front of a global audience in the first-ever Twitter live stream for a Serie A team. Almost predictably, A.S. Roma defeated its opponents 9-0. The match was only a preseason friendly, but it nonetheless allowed A.S. Roma to explore the possibilities of streaming its matches on a global social media platform.
