IFSC World Cup Live Streaming to Remain Free

The IFSC has released a statement apologizing for their sudden news last week that viewers would have to pay to live stream World Cup events. An online petition gained over 8,000 signatures in 24 hours that wanted the IFSC to address the problem.

“It was made a mistake and we apologize for that. The live streaming for IFSC will remain free of charge, the same as it was at the 1st World Cup in Meiringen, Switzerland and in previous years. The deal – despite having been announced – has not been signed and thus has not been concluded.

“Any possible future variation of this policy will be discussed inside the IFSC and subject to the approval of our key stakeholders. Let’s keep climbing together.”
