    edit

    Le Sports acquired the all-media broadcasting and signal production rights in China in 2015,[24] but they collapsed due to financial problems thus giving in all the rights they've acquired and transferred them to China Central Television and PP Sports in 2017. Tire manufacturer Continental announced they would be official sponsor.[25]
