Trace Sports (DStv 188) is starting a new weekly programme, Winner's Circle, from Saturday 18 May at 21:30 (South African time) showcasing the lifestyles of some of the world's most famous soccer players and athletes.
In the 10 episodes Duane Jones will visit and interview England's Ashley Young, Theo Walcott, Darren Brent and Daniel Sturridge, Chelsea FC defender Cesar Azpilicueta and Aviva Premiership heavyweights Saracens rugby team.
In Winner's Circle Duane Jones tags along from training grounds to stadiums, golf courses and even into the athlete's favourite restaurants.
Winner's Circle will visit some of the most famous soccer grounds taking viewers close to the action than ever before with exclusive guided stadium tours from the players themselves. The show will reveal what happens behind the dressing room door - how players prepare for a big game, celebrate a victory or recover after a defeat.
"The vision of Winner's Circle is to provide a new generation of sports fans with the opportunity to get closer to the personalities of the most famous athletes than ever before," says Duane Jones. "The show does exactly that, it takes an exclusive look into the personal lifestyles of the most sought after athletes."
"Winner's Circle is a unique programme concept in the world of sporting celebrities and will provide our viewers with the opportunity to get to know their favourite sports stars up close and personal away from the bright lights of stardom," says Laurent Dumeau, the CEO of Trace Sports and the senior vice-president for distribution for Trace channels.
"The show also marks the start of a new string of exclusive and engaging content coming to Trace Sports this year."
