CCTV Sports & Entertainment Co Ltd (CCTVSE) and Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg have signed a business agreement covering the May 18 friendly between Chinese Super League team FC Changchun Yatai and the Wolfsburg Wolves.

The deal will see CCTVSE, a wholly-owned subsidiary under the CCTV Sports Channel banner, be responsible for the operation and promotion of the event while CCTV5 will broadcast the game live.

VfL Wolfsburg is widely known among Chinese fans, partly because of its signing of Zhang Xizhe in 2014 from CSL side Beijing Guo'an.
