(Yicai Global) Sept. 27 -- China Sports Media Ltd., which owns the rights to broadcast Asian qualification matches for the FIFA World Cup, will sue five domestic live-broadcasters for illegally streaming games involving the Chinese men's national team, online media outlet TechWeb cited the plaintiff as saying on WeChat.

The five defendants include Migu Culture and Technology Co. and the media arm of state-owned mobile operator China Mobile Communications Corp.

The lawsuit concerns the illegal broadcast of games involving China and Uzbekistan on Aug. 31, and China and Qatar on Sept. 5., China Sports Media said. Unauthorized streaming constitutes unfair competition and the platforms should bear the legal responsibilities of their actions, it added.
