GOA7 League is Italy’s entry to the new wave mixture of football with internet culture, with content creators collaborating heavily with the leagues and new shorter-form matches with a focus on fast-paced and exciting content. While not as large as industry innovators Kings League, GOA7 League has been consistently growing its viewership since its inception, and tapping into the power of the Italian-speaking Twitch audience.
On the second day of the Summer 2024 season, the GOA7 League reached 42.6K PV, setting a new record for its events’ viewership. As Summer has continued, viewership has only continued to grow and the Italian football league has continued to grow its channel one step at a time. Providing insights to the success of the league, Streams Charts has collated statistics covering the Summer 2024 season’s viewership, the overall statistics of the league’s official Twitch channel, and compared its success to other top Italian Twitch streamers.
The regular season of the Summer 2024 iteration came to a close on June 30, but there is still fuel in the tank for GOA7 League. On July 18, the league will begin its Playoffs stage, deciding two of the mid-table teams to advance to the Finals alongside the four teams already qualified. Scheduled for July 23 - 25, the teams already qualified for the Finals are Muchachos, Furia Roja, Blancos, and Red Lock: these popular teams will give GOA7 League another chance to set viewership records. Streams Charts will follow and report on these special end-of-season events.
GOA7 League Summer 2024 Regular Season Viewership Statistics
Powered by Esports Charts’ event statistics for the GOA7 League Summer 2024, the Summer 2024 regular season recorded more than 1.26M Hours Watched. During the second week of matches, on May 30, the GOA7 League reached 43K Peak Viewers for a match between teams Red Lock and Furia Roja.

Compared to previous editions of GOA7 League events, the Summer 2024 league recorded a slight increase in peak viewership compared to the previous Winter 2024 season. Although this growth isn’t enormous, a 6.8% increase in peak viewership shows that the GOA7 League is slowly increasing its viewership as it naturally generates more attention with each edition.
The integration of content creators and media personalities into the football league has been successful in every area it's been tried. Whether it's the Spanish-focused Kings League or the German Baller League, regional football leagues have found success with this formula.
According to Twitch Chat statistics for the official GOA7League Twitch channel, “roja furia” made up 5% of all total Chat messages, and just “furia” accounted for another 2.55%. Furia Roja is clearly Twitch Chat’s favourite team involved with the league, which may be due to the creators behind it. Furia Roja’s president is Boro, an Italian musician with over 469K Instagram Followers, and its coach is ILFUBBE, a Twitch streamer with 53K Followers on the platform.
In regard to the GOA7League’s own channel, which generates well over 99% of the league’s total viewership, the channel has gained 25.8K new Followers throughout the Summer 2024 regular season.

The community and fanbase behind GOA7’s Twitch success are active and excited by the football events, and these loyal fans are likely a key reason behind the league’s consistent growth.

GOA7 League’s success has highlighted the power of Italy’s livestreaming community.
