The UEFA Euro 2020 is now just 30 days away and fans around the world are gearing up for what promises to be a unique and thrilling tournament.
The European Championship will take place between 11 June and 11 July in 11 different cities. There will be 51 games, with the group stage – running from 11 to 23 June – a torrent of live football, with three matches most days.
Ghanaian fans will be able to watch all matches live and in HD on the StarTimes Sport channels as well as on StarTimes ON streaming application, as the leading digital TV operator secured the broadcasting rights to the Euro 2020.
All 24 teams at the final tournament are guaranteed to play at least three games. Then the top two in each of the six groups along with the four best third-placed finishers will proceed to the knockout phase – where things get even more exciting. From that point, every game is sudden death: win and teams reach the next round, lose and they are going home.
Two teams will ultimately make it all the way to the 11 July final at London's Wembley Stadium.
Football fans can acquire StarTimes decoder set including one-month Super bouquet at only GHC 150 and watch all 51 games live and in HD.
“African fans have been forced to pay ever higher prices to watch major competitions in the past. We know what they have been going through during the past year, COVID-19 pandemic has been hard on all of us. At StarTimes, we want to ensure that nobody is excluded from this amazing football festival,” says Mrs. Akofa Banson, Head of marketing, StarTimes Ghana.
Streaming users are not left out and will be able to enjoy the whole tournament for GHC 29 on StarTimes ON.
“Football fans can hardly contain their excitement after a year-long wait. We are proud to bring them the greatest tournament of 2021.”
