Brazilian pay-television broadcaster Bandsports has acquired rights to the Chinese Super League, the top division of club football in the country.
The length of Bandsports’ commitment to the CSL was not disclosed, but its coverage will begin with Saturday’s game between Guangzhou R&F and Jiangsu Sainty.
Jiangsu Sainty is the CSL’s current league leader and boasts three of the 23 Brazilian players who feature in the competition, including midfielders Ramires and Alex Teixeira (pictured), and striker Jô.
Brazilians Luiz Felipe Scolari and Mano Menezes also coach teams in the Super League.
