SABC to show Bafana vs Brazil game

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), will be broadcasting live, the nation’s soccer team Bafana Bafana, as they go against Brazil‘s national team in a hand-over match, in the South American country.

The game will be broadcast on SABC 1, on Friday 07 September 2012, with a build-up to the match at 20:30, and the kick-off at 20:45. The match will be in commemoration of South Africa handing over the hosting duties for the FIFA World CupTM which will be held in Brazil in 2014.

Mr. Hlaudi Motsoeneng, Acting Chief Operations Officer for the SABC said “As a public service broadcaster, it is important for the SABC to broadast this match, as it will be a closure on the 2012 FIFA World CupTM held in the country, and will remind the country of the legacy left behind by this tournament”.

Meanwhile the International Olympics Committee thanked the SABC and Mr. Motsoeneng for their participation and contribution to the 2012 Olympics games in London.

This acknowledgement cements our commitment to sporting excellence. The SABC will unremittingly endeavor to broadcast sporting games that are of national interest.
