SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Asian football's governing body has terminated a broadcast deal with China's LeSports, it said on Tuesday, a day after Reuters reported it had torn up an agreement with the firm after it fell behind on payments.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said in a statement that China Sports Media (CSM) would take over the rights for the rest of the 2017-2020 commercial cycle after being left with "no alternative but to terminate its contract with LeTV".
