SINGAPORE: The suspense continues for football fans.
Singapore telecommunication giants SingTel and StarHub said Thursday they have yet to secure the broadcast rights to the 2010 FIFA World Cup which takes place in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
In a joint statement, the telcos said contrary to some media articles, the telcos do not have the rights at this juncture.
The telcos said they understand the anxiety of Singapore viewers and are trying their best to get the rights for them.
They were responding to media articles which quoted sources saying all 64 matches would be aired live on Singapore television.
The sources said details of the closely-guarded deal were still being ironed out by the telco giants.
