Jörg Daubitzer, chief operating officer of DFL Sports Enterprises, said, "Asia and especially Singapore are important markets for us today, that's why we are specifically taking action here. We have to keep working to capture more airtime and to participate in Asia's growth rates."

Audiences will be treated to exclusive videos of German Bundesliga’s past football legends and present stars including Gerd Muller, Frank Ribery and Franz Beckenbauer.
