SportVot Partners with Sevens Football Association as Official Live Production & Streaming Partner for the 2026 Season

India : SportVot has announced a season-long partnership with the Sevens Football Association (SFA) as the Official Live Production, Streaming and Distribution Partner for the 2026 season. Under the partnership, SportVot will produce and exclusively livestream top tournaments from the SFA calendar, with every match available exclusively on the SportVot app.

For decades, Sevens Football has been one of Kerala’s most celebrated sporting traditions. Played in a fast-paced seven-a-side format, the sport enjoys an unmatched following across the state, drawing thousands of spectators to venues and creating an electric atmosphere wherever tournaments are held. It has become an integral part of Kerala’s football identity, with passionate local rivalries and a loyal fan base that extends well beyond the state.

Despite its immense popularity, Sevens Football has largely remained underserved from a broadcast perspective. Fans who are unable to attend matches in person have had limited opportunities to follow the action, while players and clubs have missed out on the visibility and recognition that professional live coverage can bring.

The partnership between the Sevens Football Association and SportVot aims to bridge that gap. As the official production, streaming, and distribution partner, SportVot will deliver end-to-end live production for all tournaments in the season, including multi-camera coverage, broadcast graphics, and exclusive digital distribution through the SportVot app. The initiative is expected to significantly expand the reach of Sevens Football while creating new opportunities for fan engagement, player recognition and commercial growth.

Speaking about the partnership, Shubhangi Gupta, Co-founder & CMO, SportVot, said, “Some of the biggest sporting communities in the country exist outside mainstream television, and Kerala’s Sevens Football is a perfect example. It has an incredible football culture, passionate supporters, and a rich legacy, yet very limited professional broadcast coverage. This partnership is about changing that. Together with the Sevens Football Association, we’re excited to make one of India’s most iconic grassroots football competitions accessible to fans everywhere through a world-class live streaming experience.”

KM Lenin, President Sevens Football Association, said, “Sevens Football has always been built on the passion of our players, clubs and supporters. While the sport has enjoyed tremendous popularity in Kerala for many years, reaching fans beyond the stadium has remained a challenge. Partnering with SportVot allows us to take an important step forward by professionally showcasing our tournaments and making them accessible to supporters across India and the world. Ashraf Bava, State General Secretary, Sevens Football Association also said, “We believe this collaboration will strengthen the ecosystem, celebrate our players and help take Sevens Football to an even larger audience.”

The collaboration was brought together with the support of Arnold Wilson, Director & Co-founder, Chapter One Sports Pvt Ltd., who helped facilitate the partnership between SportVot and the Sevens Football Association.

The partnership marks a significant milestone in the digital evolution of Sevens Football. With top tournaments set to be streamed exclusively on the SportVot app throughout the season, fans will have a dedicated destination to follow every match live, while clubs, players and stakeholders benefit from greater visibility and a professional broadcast experience.

As regional sports across India continue to embrace digital transformation, the collaboration between the Sevens Football Association and SportVot demonstrates how technology can help preserve the essence of traditional sporting cultures while making them more accessible, discoverable, and sustainable for future generations.
