Strive Masiyiwa, owner of Econet Wireless, which has Kwese Sports as one of its subsidiaries has disclosed that his outfit will be interested in becoming the official broadcasters of the Ghana Premier League.

The League is currently been broadcasted by StarTimes after the Ghana Football Association secured a ten-year mega deal with them last year.

Masiyiwa in a Press Conference on Thursday revealed their wish to telecast one of Africa's finest leagues.

"We respect contractual agreements, Ghana has a contract with another company and we can’t do anything about that at the moment. We would wait until there is an opportunity to bid and compete with others. We would be very happy to have that opportunity in future.

"People love Ghanaian football because of what they have achieved with the national teams, for instance, the World Cup in South Africa. Ghana is one of the few countries that have been successful in football”, Said Masiyiwa.

Kwese last year acquired Viasat One and is now a full sports station running in over ten other African Countries.
