Getty Images has added another key sports representation deal to its portfolio: the company has become the authorized photographic agency of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. FIFA is the world governing body of football, comprising 208 football associations grouped into six confederations.
The two-year agreement gives Getty exclusive pitch side and behind-the-scenes access to FIFA tournaments, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The images will make up the new FIFA Collection, making editorial coverage from each match available within minutes.
