 During a brief period of two years, RTP also had no access to the national football team events (events that they used to broadcast since 1957), since TVI won the right for the 2008–2010 period, which included the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.In 2010, RTP recovered the rights to broadcast the national team events.It also broadcast the UEFA Europa League (when it was called UEFA Cup); however, SIC outbid them in 2009.
