A delight

Speaking on the decision to acquire the broadcasting license, StarTimes Brand & Marketing Director, Qasim Elegbede said:

“We are very happy to bring UEFA Europa League to our subscribers. This summer’s FIFA World Cup was a success and fans really appreciated that we brought them ICC exclusive and live right after. We then thought that they would be delighted to watch another European club competition on StarTimes.”

Qasim further explained that the company is well aware of the unmatched love for football that Nigerians have, and StarTimes is working hard to provide its customers with the best sports content. Subscribers will now enjoy live matches from Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, FIFA Club World Cup, French & Italian Cups and the UEFA Europa League.

The company has also been given the exclusive rights for English, Portuguese and local languages in English and Portuguese-speaking areas.
