Top football federations and leagues from around the world have teamed up to condemn satellite channel beoutQ for piracy. FIFA, UEFA, AFC, Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premier League put out a joint statement criticising beoutQ for "clear and flagrant" pirating, but did not go so far as to name Saudi Arabia as being culpable for the infringements through broadcasts from the Middle Eastern state. BeoutQ has been illegally broadcasting every game from the 2019 Asian Cup in the UAE. The leagues' and federations' statements said piracy harmed themselves, as rights holders, as well as their legitimate licensees and fans.
