Having bought the copyright for ASIAD, Vietnamese people can watch the Vietnamese team play in the round of 16?
A representative of a television station in Vietnam is negotiating with the partner holding the television copyright for ASIAD 2018 to be able to legally broadcast images of the Asian Games on Vietnamese television.
The identity of this television unit has not been revealed, but information shows that it is not VTV, and is a business based in the North.
Through the introduction of a person with many years of experience in the sports industry, this television unit was able to approach the partner holding the television copyright for ASIAD 2018 in Vietnam.

The negotiation process between the two sides is being carried out in Jakarta (Indonesia) and if everything goes smoothly, Vietnamese fans can officially watch the round of 16 match of U23 Vietnam on television on August 23, along with the performances of a series of expected sports stars such as Hoang Xuan Vinh, Anh Vien...
It is known that the unit holding the television copyright of ASIAD 2018 in Vietnam is KJSM WORLD CORP. This is the unit that directly purchased the television copyright of ASIAD 2018 from the Olympic Committee of Asia (OCA) after OCA offered the television copyright of ASIAD 2018 to Vietnamese television units but received no response.
The information we have obtained shows that initially, OCA only offered to sell the 2018 ASIAD television rights in Vietnam for a price believed to be only about 500,000 USD (about 11 billion VND), but after the rights were sold to a third party, its asking price in Vietnam is said to have reached several million USD (approximately 100 billion VND).
However, according to our information, the Vietnamese television unit that is negotiating to buy the television copyright for ASIAD 2018 may not have to pay up to several million USD to own the copyright but may have a more reasonable price.
Why Vietnam can't buy the copyright of Asiad 2018
(Baonghean.vn) - Vietnam is the only country in Asia that has not yet had the broadcasting rights to ASIAD. Is the reason due to the copyright owner or other reasons?
