Twitter and Astro announced a new partnership to bring video highlights to the platform for the EURO 2020 and the 2020 Summer Olympics. Malaysian fans can get the latest updates on everything related to EURO 2020 or the 2020 Summer Olympics by following @AstroArena and @StadiumAstro.
These updates will include match highlights for all 51 EURO 2020 matches and livestreams of pre- and post-match studio shows, as well as selected clips of post-match studio shows. Additionally, Malaysian fans will be able to participate in unique #OnlyOnTwitter activities, including media polls involving promo clips, match reactions, and interviews. By following @AstroArena and @StadiumAstro, fans will also be able to participate in Twitter Spaces, a new way to have live audio conversations on Twitter, where they’ll be able to listen to more Astro content about EURO 2020 to complement their fan experiences.
Astro will produce these clips exclusively for fans to enjoy on Twitter. In addition, Astro will broadcast all 51 UEFA EURO 2020 matches, as well as 13 channels providing the best coverage for Malaysia’s athletes as they compete for glory in the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.
