"We're very happy with the renewal of these international rights. We recognise the importance of our football and will be providing some exciting moments from Brazil's main sport to the worldwide market", comments Ricardo Scalamandré, director of International Business at Globo TV.

Fábio Koff, president of the Clube dos 13 believes that the renewal is of strategic importance for the visibility of national football. "We're very satisfied with the results following the first three years of this partnership and we're certain that the next few years will also be prosperous for Brazil's national passion. The Clube dos 13 believes that Globo TV Sports is the ideal partner, as its business model of quality and excellence is tailor-made for our expectations", he confirmed.

With the goal of improving the matches broadcast for the international public, the Clube dos 13 is studying the possibility of broadcasting one game per round of the Brazilian Championship at the fixed time of 11 am, Sundays (Brazilian Time) so that countries in various different time zones can watch the games at a reasonable hour.
