One of the most recent television channels in the country, TV Girassol is determined to bet on sport, having already broadcast the 2022 Football World Cup, which took place in Qatar. Now, it's time for Brazilian football to reach Angolan television.
LiveSports belongs to João Palomino, former head of content at ESPN channels in Brazil, and 1190 holds the international rights to broadcast the Brazilian championship, with agreements already closed in 145 countries.
"I've been to Angola frequently, and it's no surprise their passion for Brazilian football. This will grow even more with the Brasileirão broadcasts. Many countries have already discovered this potential. Angola is one of them. LiveSports' role is also to help football Brazilian to go to another global level", said Palomino, CEO of LiveSports, to the Brazilian media.
"It is very important to have a distribution for a country that is so close, in cultural terms, and that mainly speaks the same language. The Angolan public understands and is used to following our championship, and now they will have access, live, to the entire season ", said Leonardo Caetano, CEO of 1190 Sports.
The contract for the international rights of the Brasileirão was signed between the clubs and the Brazilian Football Confederation in 2020, with the company GSRM (Global Sports Rights Management) being chosen, which later underwent a merger process with 1190 Sports.
The Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol, the main sporting competition in the country, is made up of four divisions: Serie A, B and C with 20 teams each and Serie D with 68.
