Marcel Tisserand back in the spotlight!
Marcel Tisserand, former captain of the Democratic Republic of Congo national team, is currently in Saudi Arabia, where he plays for the Al-Ettifaq team coached by Steven Gerrard. And good news for football fans, Tisserand could well be back on the screens very soon. Indeed, according to information reported by L’Équipe, the Saudi Pro League will be broadcast this season on the Canal+ channel.
It is a two-season agreement that was signed between the French television giant and the Saudi football league. This coverage primarily concerns France, but Canal+ will also cover sub-Saharan Africa, including the DRC. Thus, fans will be able to follow the matches of big names in football such as Sadio Mané, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and Riyadh Mahrez.
This announcement marks an important step in bringing Saudi football to a wider audience. It will also allow Marcel Tisserand to benefit from increased visibility as he continues his career and aims for a probable selection for the next Africa Cup of Nations in 2024 in Ivory Coast.
The return of the Saudi Pro League on Canal+ is therefore raising great expectations among football fans in France and Africa. This new partnership offers a unique opportunity to closely follow the performances of Congolese players and in particular that of Marcel Tisserand, who hopes to contribute to the success of his team and earn a place in the national team for the next major competition on the African continent.
In conclusion, the broadcasting of the Saudi Pro League on Canal+ is excellent news for football fans in France and Africa. In particular, this will make it possible to closely monitor the performances of talented players such as Marcel Tisserand and to strengthen the links between Saudi football and the rest of the world. Now we just have to wait impatiently for the matches to kick off and enjoy the exciting encounters that await us in Saudi Arabia
