ZAP does not renew partnership with FAF and stops broadcasting Girabola games

ZAP will stop broadcasting the Girabola games after deciding not to renew its partnership with the Angolan Football Federation (FAF). The company justifies the decision with the fact that the socio-economic panorama the country is currently experiencing has worsened.

:

"ZAP hereby announces its decision not to renew the partnership with the Angolan Football Federation and Sport Clubs for the 2020/21 season, materialized in the official sponsorship of the national soccer championship, Girabola, and the respective television rights," revealed ZAP in a statement sent to VerAngola.

According to the note, the current socio-economic panorama led to an "even more careful management of resources". After a "long and careful evaluation" ZAP decided that "the extension of this contractual relationship would not be possible without a disproportionate and prohibitive financial effort at this time, with potential undesirable consequences on the level of service provided to our clients and/or the working conditions of our teams".

Since 2016, ZAP has contributed "to the valorization of national soccer, the Clubs and all the professionals involved", adding that they have done so with "enthusiasm and professionalism" and for believing in the "potential of the Angolan sport and sport in general".

"Significant financial and human resources were invested with the objective of taking the colourful and fantasy of Girabola to the screens of Angola and the world, with transmissions carried out according to international quality standards, which we believe will have made an important contribution to the development and affirmation of the sport and of Girabola in particular," the document states.

Finally, ZAP left a thank you to FAF and the clubs for, together, having "raised the sport in the country" and brought the talent of the athletes closer to the passion of the fans.

"We believe we have managed to demonstrate what is possible and we leave with the certainty that the ball will continue to spin. At this moment in which this stage is concluded, we leave our best wishes to both the FAF and the clubs, wishing also that Girabola continue its path of affirmation", completes the note.
