These events are very similar in scope and nature to the European Games.

The group also acted as principal audiovisual supplier to the Mediterranean Games held last year in Oran, deploying more than 350 broadcast professionals and 12 state-of-the-art OB units to cover the event.

The group will also be in charge of setting up, fitting out and managing the International Broadcast Center (IBC); a press room facility that will play host to the media covering the event and where the signal for the competitions will be received and managed, allowing millions of spectators to follow the events.
