YouTube made a World Cup deal with FIFA on Tuesday that lets rights-holding broadcasters stream game action live on the video platform that offers global access to young viewers, Reuters reported.

FIFA announced a "game-changing partnership" that encourages World Cup rights holders to broadcast the first 10 minutes of games during the June 11-July 19 tournament -- in effect an appetizer encouraging young fans then to watch on traditional channels such as network TV.

In addition, broadcasters "will be able to stream a select number of matches in full on their YouTube channel, engaging global audiences and promoting where to watch more of the competition," FIFA said, according to Reuters.
