Commenting on the development, SPN Chief Revenue Officer, Distribution and Head – Sports Business Rajesh Kaul said: “The Bundesliga is among the most popular club football leagues in the world and boasts of a strong fan following in India, making it a perfect addition to Sony Pictures Network’s portfolio of elite international events.”

He further said: “We are looking forward to working with Bundesliga to serve our viewers in India and the Indian subcontinent with the best coverage of Germany’s leading football competition.”

Bundesliga International Chief Executive Officer Robert Klein said: “With this new deal, we can guarantee Bundesliga fans a place to watch their team every single matchday.
