In future, the Bundesliga will expand its brand-ambassador activities with a group of “local heroes” who are teaming up to form the “Bundesliga Legends Network”. They are all successful former players who enjoy legendary status in their homeland and are highly regarded.

The “Bundesliga Legends Network” consists of nine ex-professionals whose popularity makes them ideal brand ambassadors for the Bundesliga in the key target markets of China (Jiayi Shao, Jörg Albertz), the USA (Steven Cherundolo), Mexico (Pavel Pardo), Ghana (Anthony Baffoe), Oceania (Wynton Rufer), South Korea (Bum-Kun Cha) and Brazil (Paulo Sergio).

“The success story of the Bundesliga is really impressive. The league has always been known for its enthusiastic fans and the great atmosphere in the grounds, but the Bundesliga has made particularly huge strides in terms of nurturing young footballers,” says Anthony Baffoe.

“I hope to do my bit to help pave the way for young African talents to play in the Bundesliga. The fast tempo, the athleticism and the technical standard of the Bundesliga make the league attractive not just to players, but to TV audiences everywhere.”
2017/2018 season of the Bundesliga will be live on StarTimes
