Mission

The mission of EuroGoTV is to cover all aspects of the Go game. We truly believe that Internet is for Go what television is for soccer. It is the element that can revolutionize the game, bring more fans, and with that, more sponsors.
For years, various Go organizations have been trying to create large scale tournaments and yet players receive relatively low prize fund. The main reason is that Go lacks adequate global coverage. We hope EuroGoTV can help Go Federations/Associations/organisations to eliminate the mentioned problems and will bring the game to a higher level.

EuroGoTV aims to get Go in the picture, world wide, with a focus on Europe.

Membership is open and free, but we have also a VIP-membership.

More info about VIP-points itself you can find here: VIP-points info.

We welcome interaction with every person and organisation that works to promote Go.

Besides live TV-broadcasts this site offers videos of interviews, go-events, lectures and game reviews.

We especially want to attract beginners and players with lower rankings.
Generally we like to intermediate between supporters, players, clubs,
associations and any other organisations in connection to Go, bringing the real Go events closer to all those interested, via the internet.

EuroGoTV looks for any help in making a rich and broad programme.
The videos and live TV broadcasts of EuroGoTV are produced by simple web- and camcorders, software to edit and common sense.
If you excel in one of these, please consider to join us!
