“We have just concluded with Superport to cover the Super 6, it is a cheering news,” the IMC boss confirmed to BSN Sports.

“It was not easy to reach an agreement, but we did all we could. We went forth and back and we finally came to an agreement.
“It is the hope of the IMC that after all these efforts, the best team wins the league, and the country will have worthy representatives in the two CAF organized Inter-Club Championships, next season.”
