MUMBAI: ZEEL-owned Ten Sports has closed a four-year media rights agreement with German Football Association for the DFB Cup.
The German knockout competition will be broadcast across the Ten Sports network between 2014/15 and 2017/18 season.
Infront Sports and Media, the exclusive international media rights advisor to the DFB, has facilitated the long-term contract.
Ten Sports has acquired the exclusive media rights for live and delayed coverage with a commitment of 11 matches per season and up to a potential of 19 matches.
Territories included in the contract cover the breadth of the Indian subcontinent including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The channel’s other international football properties include the Uefa Champions League.
Ten Sports CEO Rajesh Sethi commented, “Ten Sports is proud to reaffirm its commitment to DFB and Infront by renewing rights for the DFB Cup for a further four years which will see matches live on Ten Action, Ten Sports & Ten HD and also available for live streaming on tensports.com. As incumbent rights holders for the Uefa Champions League and Europa League and the DFB Cup, we have seen incredible performances by German Clubs on the field as well as their financial stability off it. DFB Cup forms a key part of our premium football bouquet.”
Infront has supported the DFB in its media rights sales for the international market since 2012. The negotiations with Taj TV Limited have been handled by Infront Pan-Asia, the new Singapore-based subsidiary.
