2018 FIFA World Cup: Unparalleled Viewing Experience in store for DStv & GOtv Customers
The world’s best footballers on the world’s best sports broadcaster!
This is the promise from SuperSport, which will broadcast an
unprecedented offering of World Cup football, beginning long before the
event itself in June.
In mid-April, the switch will be flipped on a 24-hour World Cup
channel (SuperSport 13), allowing fans an appetiser of the 2018 FIFA
World Cup to come two months later from the heart of Russia.
According
to Cecil Sunkwa Mills, General Manager, MultiChoice Ghana, “the pop up
channels will be packed with legacy content, highlights, documentaries,
FIFA films, classic matches and interviews, the channel will also
feature warm-up matches to prepare every football fan for the tournament
that traditionally gets the world talking.”
From June 14 until the final in Moscow on July 15, MultiChoice will
present an unparalleled viewing experience of the 2018 FIFA World Cup
for DStv and GOtv customers across all platforms. Senegal, Nigeria,
Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco will be spearheading the African challenge
come June.
All 64 matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup will be available on all
DStv packages as well as on the GOtv Max and Plus packages while GOtv
Value customers can view a significant number of games.
GOtv Lite
customers can also enjoy a select number of fixtures available on
free-to-air channels.
Viewers can also tune in to Maximo 1, Maximo 2 and
Maximo 360 for Portuguese-language coverage.
What’s more, DStv customers will be treated to two 24-hour pop-up
channels (SuperSport 13 and 14) dedicated entirely to the tournament
with live match commentary options in Pidgin and Swahili.
Coverage will
be integrated into a multi-platform offering that includes traditional
television, on-the-go via the DStv Now app and online at supersport.com. There will also be regular news updates on the popular Blitz channel.
“This is a comprehensive offering that reflects the global reach and
excitement on the world’s number one game,” said Gideon Khobane, Chief
Executive Officer of SuperSport. “Few events captivate people in every
corner of the earth, but the World Cup does so. We’ll be pulling out all
stops to tell the story of the 2018 edition in rich colour and
language.”
