The rights include the new UEFA Europa Conference League, a fresh 32-team competition, and the UEFA Youth League.
“UEFA football competitions showcase the champion footballers of Europe, never failing to produce excitement and drama and we look forward to broadcasting these events in the years to come,” said Calvo Mawela, MultiChoice Group chief executive.
