ISTANBUL

Turkish Super Lig and First League broadcaster Qatar's beIN Media Group, and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) reached on Tuesday an agreement and resolved the dispute over the payment of broadcasting rights.

Digiturk, which is owned by the global sport and entertainment network, has paid the first installment as part of the deal for this season, according to a TFF statement, and the clubs will receive their share on Wednesday.

Turkish football clubs had earlier protested against the broadcaster, claiming that it failed to fulfill its financial obligations.
