Comrades, strugglers, and fellow residents of brokeville.  We have a great piece of information for those of you who enjoy the wonderful game of soccer, the happenings of the Barclays Premier League and the Spanish La Liga but struggle to scrape the money needed to enjoy DSTV’s full bouquet.

Well , no longer will you have to catch 3 combis to the nearest sports bar and endure the eclectic body odours of loud and slightly drunk patrons as you try to watch your favourite team in action.  DSTV Zimbabwe has just announced that subscribers to their $55 DSTV Compact Plus Package will can now enjoy all of the action in Barclays Premier League and Spanish La Liga via Supersport 3 and 5 which will now be made available up until May 16 2016.

Here is the full press release;

A Christmas bonus is on the way to football fans on the DStv Compact Plus bouquet: England’s Barclays Premier League is return to SuperSport 3. 

 Liz Dziva, publicity and public relations manager of MultiChoice Zimbabwe, said the return of live premiership games to DStv Compact Plus would start from December 1, from when subscribers could access the bulk of the EPL action for the rest of the football season, which ends in May.

 “All active Compact Plus subscribers will get the EPL experience on SuperSport 3, while SuperSport  5 will be made available for coverage of the Spanish La Liga,” she said.

 “We are sure this will help brighten the Christmas season, which will also be boosted by a   range of additional family entertainment on various bouquets. We know many subscribers are experiencing tough economic challenges at the moment and we want to make the festive season bigger and brighter with more great sport, children’s programming, news and general entertainment.”

 The Barclays Premier League is considered the most popular ongoing sporting spectacle in the world, not only with top soccer action but also with larger-than-life characters who thrill, infuriate, spread joy and despair in equal measure.

Blockbuster matches coming up include Arsenal versus Manchester City (December 21), Manchester United versus Chelsea (December 28), Everton versus Tottenham (January 2), Liverpool versus Arsenal (January 13), Manchester City versus Everton  (January 13), Chelsea versus Everton (January 16), Liverpool versus Manchester United (January 17) and Arsenal versus Chelsea (January 24).

“We hope DStv Compact Plus viewers will be pleased with this development and we thank them for the feedback they have given us in this regard,” said Ms Dziva.
