All the matches in this year’s Barclays Cup will be aired live on both ZNBC and SuperSport following a deal unveiled today between Barclays Bank Zambia and SuperSport.
The deal for an undisclosed fee was announced on Tuesday at the Southern Sun Hotel in Lusaka by Barclays Bank Zambia Barclays Bank Zambia managing director Bret Packard and SuperSport head of Africa Gary Rathbone.
The deal will see Barclays Bank Zambia as the official brand sponsor for all live Faz Super Division matches including the Barclays Cup on SuperSport and ZNBC from August until the season ends in late November.
Dates and draws for this year Barclays Cup have yet to be announced by the tournament organizers.
Meanwhile, the development means SuperSport will now show a live game every weekend instead of their previous monthly transmission of Super Division matches.

Why not invite Charlie Cools boys from Belgium for this tournament? Is someone some where jealousy of the boys. Surely they should be protected from countries like Belgium who may want to use them in their youth teams.
