PA mobile football service will publish match photos in minutes

By Press Gazette

A service being launched by the Press Association will give football fans access to photographs from Premiership games just two minutes after they have been shot.

PA's GameOn real-time mobile service will combine photographs shot by PA Group Photos with live match data from PA Sport. The service will cover all 380 Premiership matches.

The PA photographers will use ShootLive technology (pictured), allowing pictures of a goal being scored to be delivered to a subscriber's mobile phone within two minutes, followed seconds later by new photographs of players' celebrations.

PA Group Photos has licensed GameOn to Orange, O2, Arsenal football club, Teletext and FourFourTwo magazine.
