Ghanaian TV station to telecast Chinese Super league

Xinhua, August 4, 2016 Adjust font size:

The Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) has announced that it will telecast the Chinese Super League for the rest of the season.

The state-run broadcaster will also broadcast the upcoming German Bundesliga as well as the Italian Serie A to the viewing public every weekend.

The Channel Manager of GTV Sports plus, George Lomotey, says GBC is committed to providing more airtime for exciting sporting events to help grow its viewership.

"Ghanaians are enthusiastic to watch beautiful football when the new soccer season gets underway in a few days," Lomotey was quoted as saying on the corporation' s website.

The Chinese Super League has drawn great interest from the soccer fraternity in Ghana after Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan completed a mega move from Al Ain in the United Arabs Emirates to Shanghai SIPG in a two-year contract in 2015.

The telecast of the Chinese league is expected to provide a platform for cultural exchange between Ghana and China. Endit
