The Ivorian Football Federation and RTI have signed an agreement extending and expanding their partnership, which began in 2012.
The new two-year contract allows RTI to broadcast Ligue 2 matches in addition to the Ligue 1 matches it currently produces and broadcasts.
Thus, while 52 Ligue 1 matches will be broadcast on RTI1, Ligue 2 matches from the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons will be added to the programming schedule of the RTI group's newly launched channel, "La 3
,"
which is dedicated to music and sports.
In return for the production of these matches and the promotion of Ivorian football talent, the FIF president announced that all national team matches played in Côte d'Ivoire, whether official or friendly, would be made available free of charge.
