Thai agency wins Cup rights

German firm Kirch has signed a deal with Thai agency Dhospaak to market the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups.

The contract gives Dhospaak the exclusive right to sub-licence the World Cup to other broadcasters in Thailand.

KirchMedia has also signed an agreement with M-League Marketing, a Malaysian agency, for the television rights to the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Malaysia.

M-League Marketing already works closely with the Malaysian Football Association, marketing the sponsorship rights to the country’s national football league.
