The agreement between the Premier League and Russian television is suspended

The Premier League is one of the most competitive and important football leagues in Europe. With thousands of fans around the world and with the participation of great teams such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, among others; he is always looking for ways to increase the expansion of his brand. To do this, and aiming at the Russian market, the English First Division decided to sell its television rights to the "Match TV" channel decreed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

 

But, due to the war against Ukraine that started on February 24 this year, the sponsorship was suspended. The details of the contract were for 6 years with a value of 43 million pounds. In addition, the war caused Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich to sell Chelsea to a US consortium last month.
