SuperSport extends Netball South Africa deal

SuperSport, the pay-television broadcaster that operates in sub-Saharan Africa, has renewed a rights deal with the Netball South Africa national governing body.

The five-year deal grants SuperSport exclusive broadcast rights for events organised by NSA.

The body currently oversees national team Test series, the Netball Premier League club competition, the Quad Series and the Spar Championships.

SuperSport’s coverage is also complemented by the Everything Netball magazine show. NSA chief executive Blanche De Le Guerre said: “Renewing our contract with SuperSport has always been so key for us in terms of developing our players. They are the most professional broadcaster and allow our players exposure, brilliant coverage as well as the opportunity to learn to deal with the high-pressure environment of playing on live TV.”
