Multichoice Malawi will offer their subscribers a chance to follow the Commonwealth Games scheduled for July 28 to August 8 in Birmingham, UK.
In a statement, the digital satellite providers said they would show the games on DStv’s Supersport and GOtv channels.
“Malawian sporting fans can expect sporting action and the full slate of games that Malawi’s athletes will be participating in. Often referred to as ‘The friendly games’ the Commonwealth Games is an international multi-sport event, involving athletes from the Commonwealth nations.”
Multichoice said.
African nations are expected to feature strongly across many disciplines, with South Africa set to be strong in athletics, swimming and sevens rugby; while the likes of Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia will be ripping up the track and road for middle and long sitance running events.
Kenya’s Emmanuel Korir, for example, will be a leading star at the Games, having claimed men’s 800m gold at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
He will compete in the men’s 400m in Birmingham and is looking forward to adding a Commonwealth Games medal to his tally of international accolades.
Viewers on DStv and GOtv can see their favorite sports stars dominating events across the world.
The event was first held in 1930 and with the exception of 1942 and 1946 has taken place every four years since then.
Malawi will participate in Judo, swimming, athletics and netball.
