The supper cup is normally played between the National
league winners and the winners of General Da’ud Cup. This means that the
Police-owned Football Club [Heegan] who are the defending champions will take
on the military side [Horseed] who lifted the General Da’ud Cup after beating
Heegan 2-1 in the final match last Thursday.
SNTV and Universal are the most-watched Somali TVs and
with Universal TV joining hands with Somali FA, the super cup match is expected
that millions more in-home TV viewers will watch it from their homes across the
world.
"The Somali National TV was already in cooperation with us, but the arrival of Universal TV will make a big difference. We are very much pleased that Universal TV another major broadcaster has joined us only because of the promotion of Somali football” Somali FA president, Abdiqani Said Arab, said in a statement on Wednesday.
The president also thanked the National TV and the
production company Horn Connect which will be working alongside them for
playing a big role in encouraging the football progress in the country.
However, Universal TV, a privately-owned Somali
broadcaster will be doing the live coverage independently, as they have already
set up their transmitters at Stadium Banadir.
Last week the first ever football match in the country was
watched live on the State-run television. This was a successful endeavor which attracted
the attention millions of Somalis and none-Somalis around the world.
