## History

Vision 1 The Football Channel (later Vision 1 Sports) began on 5 September 2005. At first, Vision 1 – which can be seen through the channel 1 Indovision, only broadcast football games from around the world live. Since August 2007, it also presented impressions of extreme sports and badminton.
In each match live, broadcast was done directly from the studio to bring Vision1 with the presenter and commentator for the match to guide the way.
On 2 November 2011, Vision 1 Sports was rebranded into MNC Sports.
On 1 July 2023, MNC Sports was rebranded into Sportstars.
