The Ghana Football Association wishes to announce that SuperSport
International has acquired the exclusive broadcast rights of the Ghana
Premier League and the MTN FA Cup.
SuperSport signed a three-year deal with the GFA on Friday to produce and
broadcast the national league and also the MTN FA Cup.

The deal takes immediate effect.

This means the South Africa-based broadcasting giants will broadcast
Sunday’s Super Clash between giants Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante
Kotoko in Accra.

The deal marks the first time Ghana's premier domestic football
competition, which is one of the biggest and best in Africa, will be
produced by the continental broadcasting giants.

GFA vice president Fred Crentsil hailed the deal, calling it one of the
most valuable agreements in Ghanaian football's history.
"Today, the new broadcast arrangements will give the GFA an unprecedented
opportunity to implement its strategic plans for Ghanaian football," he
said in a statement.
“The deal gives the Ghana football the opportunity to market itself on a
bigger platform to attract more fans as well as corporate bodies.
"There’s never been any doubt that the game has a bright future in this
nation, but today the football family can take comfort from the huge vote
of confidence from our broadcast partners.”
SuperSport will produce the matches for television, in line with various
other leagues across Africa.

“Ghana has a tremendous football tradition and continues to produce great
players, so we are delighted with this development,” said Andre Venter,
SuperSport’s head of Africa.

“The game in Ghana is strong and vibrant and we look forward to showcasing
it on our channels.”

Meanwhile a date will be announced in due course to launch SuperSport's
relationship with the GFA.
