Stilian Shishkov, Founder and CEO of Sportal commented on the launch: “Africa is a very important milestone for us and a great opportunity to partner with Pulse in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Senegal. Africa is not just another growth market, but a continent with a young population that is highly engaged with sports, football in particular. We are super excited to work with a truly pan-African organization such as Pulse and introduce Sportal365 as another pillar in their cutting edge digital services portfolio. This new integration also strengthens our partnership with leading Swiss media company Ringier, backers of Pulse."
