With Botswana’s football in a total mess and the Rio Olympics games providing some much needed entertainment to sport lovers, football lovers should look forward to the best football leagues come August 13.

According to a press release from the World of Champions, SuperSport, the renowned sport channel will bring football fans in Botswana and the rest of Africa all the live action of the new season in HD glory on DStv.

“Football fans were given a preview of the upcoming season last weekend when DStv showcased the much-anticipated Community Shield clash which saw Man United scoop their first silverware over last season’s Premier League title-holders, Leicester City. And if the hype and hysteria of the previous season is any indication, the looming Premier League is bound to be just as captivating with all 380 matches of the new season available on DStv,” it reads.

The press statement further says at least 300 of the matches will be broadcast live, confirming SuperSport as the football destination of choice for viewers across Africa. 

“The sports channel’s breadth and depth of the coverage, which will include first-class Premier League TV buildups with respected analysts, will remain unrivalled on the continent,” it continues.

Thembile Legwaila, PR and Publicity executive at Multichoice Botswana said in an interview that this coming season would bring an exciting new dimension with the Premier League scheduling Friday fixtures for the very first time. 

“These, too, will be part of SuperSport’s vast Premiership offering to football fans. As usual, Saturdays will be firm football days with simultaneous 4pm kickoffs that will see SuperSport air up to three extra games at a time over multiple SuperSport channels SS3, SS5, SS6, SS7 and SS11. The popular 24-hour Premier League channel will continue as standard on SS11, reaffirming SuperSport as the home of international football,” she said.  ENDS
