CAF CL: Kotoko sign deal to broadcast Al-Hilal 2nd leg

Asante Kotoko have secured rights to broadcast their Caf Champions League second preliminary round return encounter away to Al-Hilal on Wednesday.

The deal was signed “under the principle of reciprocity” before the first leg clash in Accra on December 23.

That allowed Hilal to broadcast the 1-0 victory to their fans back home in Sudan on live TV.

Kotoko were represented by CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah who signed the agreement with Personal Assistant and acting Communications Director David Obeng Nyarko as a witness when he paid a courtesy call on Hilal at their team hotel.

The Porcupine Warriors arrived in Sudan on Monday, two clear days ahead of the crucial tie decider scheduled for the Al-Hilal Stadium in Omdurman.

Kotoko, it is understood will stream the match on the platform of their official virtual broadcaster and entertainment partners, CEEK.

The Hilal-Kotoko clash is scheduled for 13:00 GMT kickoff with Rwandan Louis Hakkizinana as centre referee.

The aggregate winner of this tie advances to the group stage of the Caf Champions League while the loser drops to battle in the final round of the Confederation Cup group stage qualifiers.
