The good news was confirmed by BPL chief executive officer (CEO), Bennett Mamelodi yesterday who stressed that negotiations for a deal were ongoing. "That SuperSport is interested in our league is not in doubt," Mamelodi told Mmegi sport yesterday. He said at the moment they are discussing terms on how they can work together. He said they hope to have finalised everything in the next two weeks. The first match to be aired will be between relegation candidates, Mogoditshane Fighters and Unaio Flamengo Santos at the Molepolole Sports Complex tomorrow.
The match kicks off at 7:00 pm. Fighters, together with Notwane and Prisons XI have all collected just 16 points from 19 matches, putting them in a dangerous situation.The match against Santos is likely to test their credentials as far as surviving the relegation battle is concerned. SuperSport-9 will also air the match between Santos and Prisons XI on Friday at 5:00 pm. The following day, they will broadcast what promises to be a titanic clash between Township Rollers and Extension Gunners at the UB Stadium.
