Setanta Africa acquires TV broadcast rights to French Ligue 1

Setanta Africa brings you action from the top division in France, Ligue 1. Setanta will broadcast two live matches from each round of fixtures on Friday and Saturday nights. In addition to this there will also be a weekly preview show on Thursday evening and a highlights show on Monday morning.

Ligue 1 is regarded as one of Europe’s premier domestic leagues and has a rich history as the breeding ground for some of Africa’s most decorated players. Emmanuel Adebayor and last season’s Champions League winners Didier Drogba and Michael Essien all spent their early careers in France. This season Montpellier will be aiming to defend their title but will face stiff competition from big spending Paris St Germain. PSG have been busy in the transfer market signing some of the worlds marquee players including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
