The deal also includes the previously reported marketing of Bundesliga media rights within the territory of Latin America, excluding Brazil, for the ongoing 2020-21 Bundesliga season
The cooperation regarding the territory of sub-Saharan Africa will last for the next three seasons up to and including 2022-23, whilst the marketing agreement regarding Latin America (excluding Brazil) applies to the recently kicked-off 2020-21 Bundesliga season.
For Africa, Bundesliga International will work with Sportfive to market a dedicated free TV package to sub-Saharan African media stations.

Robert Klein, Bundesliga International CEO, adds: “Partnering with broadcasters in multiple countries across the regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America allows us to deliver the Bundesliga in a way that is relevant, engaging and tailored specifically to local fans. This remains an integral part of our strategy and we are already seeing the fruits of this approach.”
