DStv subscribers are in for a bumper soccer season on The World of Champions as Barcelona prime themselves for another wave of world domination, while Manchester United get ready to reclaim their throne as the kings of England and Jose Mourinho aims for top-dog status for Chelsea. Meanwhile in the rest of Europe, it will be Spain’s top priority to go three on the trot at Euro 2016.
SuperSport viewers will be treated to front-row seats of all the action, including the English Premier League and Championship, Spanish La Liga, Uefa Champions and Europa League, Fifa international friendlies and Club World Cup, German Cup, Copa Del Rey, the FA Cup and more.
