Baffoe is now part of a \u201cteam\u201d of prominent figures from the Bundesliga\u2019s history with which the Bundesliga is taking the next steps in its journey of internationalisation.<\/p>\n<p>As members of the \u201cBundesliga Legends Network\u201d, ex-Bundesliga players will be spreading the values and unique features of the Bundesliga all over the world and sharing their experiences of German professional football.<\/p>\n<p>In his playing career, the former defender of Ghanaian origin played 199 games in the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBundesliga Legends Tours\u201d with world-famous brand ambassadors like Germany\u2019s most-capped player Lothar Matth\u00e4us have become firmly established in key target markets in recent years, helping to raise awareness of the Bundesliga and its clubs.<\/p>\n<p>In future, the Bundesliga will expand its brand-ambassador activities with a group of \u201clocal heroes\u201d who are teaming up to form the \u201cBundesliga Legends Network\u201d. They are all successful former players who enjoy legendary status in their homeland and are highly regarded.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBundesliga Legends Network\u201d consists of nine ex-professionals whose popularity makes them ideal brand ambassadors for the Bundesliga in the key target markets of China (Jiayi Shao, J\u00f6rg Albertz), the USA (Steven Cherundolo), Mexico (Pavel Pardo), Ghana (Anthony Baffoe), Oceania (Wynton Rufer), South Korea (Bum-Kun Cha) and Brazil (Paulo Sergio).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 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,\u201d says Anthony Baffoe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2017\/2018 season of the Bundesliga will be live on StarTimes<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 62 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Wednesday, 2 August 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-08-02 2017\/2018 season of the Bundesliga will be live on StarTimes &#13; Anthony Baffoe is to be a brand ambassador of the Bundesliga.
