StarTimes wins 2019 Copa Del Rey final rights

Pan-African pay-television operator StarTimes has acquired rights to the 2019 Copa Del Rey final.

It bought the rights from the Spanish football federation. This season’s final sees Barcelona take on Valencia at the Benito Villamarín Stadium in Seville on Saturday.

StarTimes has acquired a host of European and African football properties in sub-Saharan Africa over the past few months, taking advantage of Kwesé TV’s financial difficulties.
