The PRO Company is proud to announce the signing of a major multi-year partnership with STARZPLAY, the leading subscription video-on-demand service across the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan, which serves over 2.3 million subscribers with partnerships spanning major studios including Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount, Sony, and Lionsgate. Under the terms of this agreement, The PRO Company receives exclusive rights to distribute STARZPLAY’s full catalog of entertainment and sports content—including the prestigious Italian Serie A—in Iraq.

The agreement features a direct “clean feed” to the Serie A, guaranteeing unfiltered coverage and unmatched quality for fans and broadcasters throughout Iraq.
The partnership is set for a three-year term, beginning in September 2025, empowering The PRO Company and STARZPLAY to drive the future of digital entertainment across Iraq. This move dramatically expands the distribution network for Italian football, international sports—including UFC—and top-rated movies, series, and original productions.
