By AFP, March 4, 2022
FOOTBALL: The Premier League is looking at the suspension or termination of its Russian television deal following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, chief executive Richard Masters said on Thursday.
The Russian rights for the current season are owned by a company called Rambler, and broadcast on streaming platform Okko.
Match TV, owned by Russian state energy giant Gazprom, is then set to start a six-year deal from the 2022/23 season. Commercial deals with Russia in all sectors are under scrutiny. -AFP
