MUMBAI:
IMG Media, a division of IMG Worldwide, the global sports,
fashion and media company, has been appointed by the Jordan
Football Association to market the international broadcast
rights to the national team's matches until the 2015 AFC Asian
Cup.
The
Jordan FA will continue to sell rights to domestic broadcasters.
IMG
will distribute the rights to Jordan's qualification matches
for the tournament against Syria and Oman as well as a number
of international friendly fixtures to be announced in due
course.
IMG
Media SVP Michael Mellor said, “This is the first time
the Jordan FA has had an international rights partner and
we are delighted they chose us. We are developing their friendly
calendar and plan to help them to develop and commercialise
their football operation over the next couple of years, although
we, of course, hope it is the beginning of a long-term relationship.”
