Initial concerns about AFCON 2023 not being accessible on Africa’s major pay-TV service, DSTV, have been quelled with the latest update. Supersports and NTA have secured the rights to broadcast the tournament, alleviating worries among football enthusiasts.
The confirmation, announced on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, comes after fears arose due to DSTV losing the bidding war to New World TV.
StarTimes further reassured fans by confirming the airing of all 54 AFCON 2023 fixtures on their platform. This follows earlier reports hinting at potential broadcast restrictions in Nigeria by NBC, adding a touch of uncertainty for football fans.
Charles Anazodo, a renowned sports journalist for Super Sports, shared the positive news on his social media platform, stating, “SuperSport WILL air live games for the #AFCON2023.”
