Victor Blundell , Senior Vice President of IMG Media, said: “We are delighted Sport Klub will once again be the broadcaster of the Barclays Premier League in the region.

“There are an increasing number of players in the English top flight from the region and therefore a great desire to watch live action on a regular basis.”

Nemanja Simeunovic, Regional Director of Sport Klub, said: “The Barclays Premier League is the best league in the world and we are very pleased to continue our already successful relationship with them – they are part of the Sport Klub family.
