FeedConstruct Secures Nicaragua Football Data Rights

FeedConstruct has secured exclusive worldwide data and streaming rights to Nicaragua's Liga Primera and Copa Primera football competitions, the sports data supplier announced on July 20, 2026. The deal adds whistle to whistle coverage of Nicaragua's top two football tournaments to FeedConstruct's global sportsbook network, and lands weeks after the company's sixth major 2026 rights deal, an exclusive Romanian football agreement signed in June.

• The Nicaragua deal follows FeedConstruct's sixth major 2026 partnership, a Romanian football rights agreement covering Liga 1 and Cupa Romaniei announced June 4, 2026 (source: SBC News).

What did FeedConstruct just acquire in Nicaragua?

FeedConstruct obtained exclusive worldwide data and streaming rights covering Nicaragua's Liga Primera and Copa Primera, according to a company announcement carried by Hipther. The package includes whistle to whistle live broadcasts of every match across both tournaments, plus the underlying data feed that sportsbooks use to build betting markets and settle wagers in real time.

Which competitions are covered by the deal?

Two competitions are included. Liga Primera is Nicaragua's premier professional football tournament, and Copa Primera is its professional cup competition. Clubs from both regularly compete in CONCACAF regional tournaments, which is part of what gives the leagues cross border appeal to sportsbooks looking for Central American football content beyond the traditional big five European leagues.

Why does Nicaraguan football matter to sportsbooks?

Central America has historically been under covered by major sports data suppliers compared with South American leagues in Brazil, Argentina or Colombia. Allan J. Chamorro, Managing Partner at Apollo Sports Business Group, said Nicaragua "has rapidly established itself as one of Central America's fastest growing football markets, attracting growing regional recognition and international commercial interest." For operators building out betting markets for Spanish speaking Latin American audiences, an exclusive, verified data source lets them add a new market without relying on unofficial or scraped data.

What has FeedConstruct said about the deal?

Ani Isakhanyan, Head of Rights and Content at FeedConstruct, said: "Securing these exclusive rights is a highly valuable addition to our portfolio. Liga Primera and Copa Primera deliver the consistent football content that the global iGaming industry demands." The company frames the deal as filling a specific gap in its Americas football portfolio rather than a general market expansion.

How does this fit FeedConstruct's 2026 expansion strategy?

The Nicaragua deal is part of a pattern rather than an isolated signing. FeedConstruct has been adding regional football and basketball rights deals through 2026, and its Romanian football agreement, covering Cupa Romaniei, the Super Cup, Liga 1, the men's second and third divisions, the Super Liga women's division, the women's national team and Liga 1 futsal, was described by the company as its sixth major partnership of the year when it was announced on June 4, according to SBC News. The Nicaragua deal, coming roughly six weeks later, extends that run into a new region.

What other rights deals has FeedConstruct signed in 2026?

Beyond Romania and Nicaragua, FeedConstruct has added South American basketball rights in 2026, including deals covering leagues in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador's Liga Basquet Pro, plus an international basketball league in East Asia, according to Gaming Intelligence's coverage of the company's 2026 announcements. The table below lines up the confirmed 2026 deals by sport and region.

How does this compare to other data providers' Latin America moves?

FeedConstruct's Nicaragua push lands alongside broader supplier activity in Latin America ahead of and during the 2026 football calendar. Kambi signed an Odds Feed+ agreement with RETABET covering Spain and Peru, extending its own data reach into Spanish speaking markets, while data provider Blask has reported rising LatAm iGaming demand tied to World Cup 2026 activity. Together with FeedConstruct's Central American move, that points to sports data suppliers racing to lock up exclusive regional content before rivals do, rather than competing only on price for the same major leagues.

What does this mean for sportsbook operators?

Operators that want Liga Primera or Copa Primera markets now have one confirmed, exclusive route to licensed data and streaming, through FeedConstruct's platform, rather than piecing together unofficial feeds. For operators already integrated with FeedConstruct for other leagues, adding Nicaraguan football should be a matter of extending an existing feed rather than a new vendor integration, which lowers the operational cost of testing a new, smaller market.

Is Nicaraguan football a big betting market today?

Neither FeedConstruct nor Apollo Sports Business Group has published betting handle or market size figures for Nicaraguan football, and none should be assumed. The commercial case made publicly rests on regional growth and CONCACAF exposure rather than disclosed betting volumes, so operators evaluating the market should treat it as an early stage content addition rather than a proven high volume product.

What's next for FeedConstruct?

Given six confirmed major rights deals by June and a seventh notable addition in Nicaragua by July, FeedConstruct's public statements suggest the company intends to keep adding regional football and basketball rights through the rest of 2026. Its own framing of the Romanian deal as a numbered milestone signals the company is actively tracking and publicising its expansion pace as a competitive signal to rival data suppliers.
